Hello,
I've owned my Mk1A since spring of 1976. When I got it, it came with a
black jack with appropriate small label that was clearly a Rootes jack; it fit
the square body tubes and worked.
Years ago, in the late 1980s, I visited a junk yard in Berkeley CA. There
was a low-fin Alpine, and I bought the jack it had in its trunk and brought
it home to Massachusetts.
After recently deciding to refresh/restore my trunk, I started to think
about the two jacks. They are almost identical except for difference in
length. My original (?) jack is about 1.5" longer. Yesterday I looked up in
both
the Alpine and Tiger "TOOLS" sections of their respective parts catalogs.
The Tiger Parts catalog contained Mk1-Mk2. Here is what I found:
Alpine: part number
up to B395000595 uses 1201342
from B395000566 uses 5520473
Tiger:
up to B9473324 1201342
from B9473325 5520473
The Question: Am I correct in the assumption that the shorter (earlier)
jack is # 1201342 and the
longer (later) jack is # 5520473 ???
Thanks in advance,
Jim Armstrong

Mk 1A
code 86
