I have a few MG sissors jacks too. These are real rare as they came out
of MG Toyotas. You want one? $300, I'll list it on Ebay. Or let me know
and I'll give it to you when ever I finally do see you face to face.
Peter is dead right about the original jack gouging the body as you jack
down the car, no going up mind you, you jack up the car and the jack
tilts, omly when it comes down does the tilt cause the rachet to dig
into the paint. (How do I know this?)
The jack that really works great and is small is a VW Jetta jack, it
fits the lower rocker lip and also fits in the original jack roll.
It does not work well on rusty rocker cars though.
