We have now got a 15" lift jack and find that with one bracket fixed 6 1/4 inches from the bottom we can jack 12.B.V. off a rim both front and back. A 15" lift jack with the bracket in this position should be instructed on the LOP. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}// 6.25o | ||
