Rick

Both my Bugeye jacks look exactly like the ones on page 41. 1 is red, 1
is black.
Both say BTD made in England. I know one camre out of a fairly original
Bugeye complete with spare tire straps.
But like you, I am not an original owner.
Bob and Annice, please look at your jack.
Now we have at least 3 different jack makers.
