I bought this one at Sears back in the '70s, Richard. I quit using it because the chain between the sprockets broke, and now it will only work on high gear. Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry Havel

Being a man of means - by NO means - but getting older and not relishing the task of cranking a jack handle on the side of the road (especially in 100 + degree weather), I bought a two ton electric j

A scissors jack from a 1990, or so, Jaguar XJS is a good choice for a jack. Easy to find on ebay at a reasonable price, will collapse into a small package, is true to the British tradition and comes

On the BJ8 you need a jack so that you can take off the rear wheel, access the fuel pump, and whack it to holy hell with the thor. I know all other healeys you don't need to jack up the car to get a
