you can actually file the top down so its flat, that's what I did before welding the rectangle on the pressure is then not delivered via the "horns" Geoff

2006 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Java Black

Another one purchased

57cm lift is way more than others I was comparing to

+ jacking adaptor naturally Alcohol and eBay is never a good mix

I got the ebay jacking adapter for this but it was resin rather than ali. Doesn't look like it will cope sitting on the bottle jack. Any one have any idea if you can get the ali jack adapter rather than the resin one?

Thanks.

Best regards

I prefer a horizontal pumping jack. Much more easy to work with.

That looks like it would take your knuckles off!

I doesn't hit the knuckles as you have just enough angle. It's not 100% horizontal.
And in most cases I put a wooden block under it. Surely no issue at than. 2017 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 silicon silver

That horizontal pumping jack would be really useful with the deployable sidesteps. Where would I find one? 2012 5.0L S/C

2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

The Merc jacks are also hydraulic pumping jacks. Modifying the top with the adaptor is just to introduce the load of the jack into the car in a better way .

Which reminds me, still need to have my adaptor drilled for the top of the ram. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

One more quick question: Does that Weber jack have enough lift to get a FFRR wheel off the ground: 385mm fully extended seems low? 2012 5.0L S/C
