Jacking bar finish?
 

My jacking bar got suitably rusty and it's needs to be refinished. I ended up soaking it in a tub of Evaporust and it has been cleaned right up. Now I need to do something to keep it from rusting up again. Did the original bars have a painted finish or where they blackened?

jack handle.
 

Jordan,

I once borrowed a jacking bar off a guy who had alot of original tools, his was painted the same colour as the carrier.

Anyone got a picture/dimensions of the jack handle for a carrier jack, I need to make a couple.

Ok great thanks.

I too need a picture of a jack crank handle so I can make one for my jack.

No answer so far so I will ask if this Holden jack handle is a close enough substitute. I'll have to copy it with a smaller square end or end up with a Holden jack without a handle. :cheers:

I believe the jack handle Kevin was looking for is different from the one hrpearce is looking for?

Michael,
Its a good thing that a few people like yourself make the effort to answer other peoples questions, or else there would be no answers. :note:
HR Pearce, We are still waiting for an Australian or Kiwi to give you an answer.

This is what came with my Harvey Frost Jack, I know it is a post war jack, but don't know if the handle is something similar.

Thank you all Euan answered my question in "the rebuild" where I had first asked it. :cheers:

Lance, That is good. That is the British war time issue carrier jack. Your one might be dated post war, but I have 1940 and 1941 dated jacks
I have seen them with steel and aluminium bodies, and rated variously at 4 ton, and 4 1/2 ton. There are different manufactures as well. I cant remember what mine are, but remember that Britool made them.
I believe that in 1938 the extention was a one piece item, but by the time the Carrier Bren NoII, MkII was in production, they were a two piece.
(that means all U.C's had a two piece)
For the Canadians, the bracket on your carrier was designed to fit this jack, and was issued with no block of wood.
Lance, I assume you have yours because it is also part of the Humber kit?
