Last week I finally realized a 40 year old dream and bought a '65 +4 4 place, but as I was messing around I discovered that there was no jack. What jack came with it originally? Where can I get one?

A scissors jack works nicely, I believe Sears or Pep Boys has a sturdy one with a carrying case; just make sure it collapses to a workable height, and don't forget to carry a wood board to jack it u

Just in front of the driver and passenger seats should be a hole through the floor. It is usually plugged with a piece of wood cut out to fill the hole. If you remove this plug you will see a hole i

Hey John, On my '66 Plus 4 Four Seater (RHD) the factory jack points are roughly between the driver's knees and front passenger's knees. The factory jack is a screw jack with a longish lip that fits

It is unusual to find these Morgans with the original jack. It is a strange mushroom shaped object. Must of us go to the local car parts store and get a small scissors jack. they work just fine. I gu

The jack the others described sounds exactly like the one on my '56 TR3. They may not be all that rare. Duncan

Too add to Chip's insights on jacking...the adage "measure twice, cut once" is transferred to jacking up Mogs..."look twice, jack once"....jacking could be hazardous to your Morgan's health.....assum

Thanks for that advice. I've been pondering as to where to place the jack as well. In the past, I've used the lower tube of the front suspension and the rear axle and found that, if I used a point o

Chip, et al., If it's any consolation, all new Morgans come with a black-painted scissors jack just as you describe with a separate frail crank. The only other tool I received was a special octagonal

Well, I hate to say it to such a serious crowd, but that business about jacking one wheel up a foot and the rest of it sitting there was a tall tale. If your car really does this, you are about to le

I am not an expert, but I have survived 11 years of Morgan ownership to date. I've had great luck changing tires with the original screw jack on my '67 +4. I carry two rubber wheel chocks and a 2"X6"

My '52 +4 also has the cut outs in the floor. I seem to recall that the jack for which those holes were intended was sort of a horizontal crank arrangement that would allow you to jack up the car "i
