[Tigers] jack paint

[Allan Ballard]

Several years ago I came across a grey jack on Ebay.  I wanted it because it was taller than my
Mk1a’s black jack.

If you’ve actually used a stock jack to change a flat you may feel that some additional height can be helpful.

I’ve kept the grey jack in lieu of the black jack ever since. It’s been used a couple of times.
