Hey folks, I have two OEM jacks for an E type, and want to keep the one that is correct for the year.

My car is a '67, OTS.

• One has the integrated handle.
• The other has the need for a separate ratcheting handle.

Which is correct?

Thank you. BTW, the other will be for sale.

Looks like the integral handle one is the original pattern.

Thank you very much! Super helpful.

Risking announcing my ignorance to the entire forum, why is there a hub removal socket (as in the parts list, "tool for hubcap removal and refitting") as Item 23? Perhaps included for the saloons but not the E type? Or did other countries adopt the non-eared spinners even before safety-conscious US? Just curious.

 

As Graham posted, the integral handle jack as pictured in the diagram is the correct one for your car. The Item 23 tool was meant only for those countries where the eared knock-offs were illegal (as it was soon to be the case in the US - other countries were "ahead" of us). So your tool kit would be minus the tool. The tool's interior captures the top edges of the earless knock-off, and the owner starts whacking on the three ears that are part of the tool in order to loosen the knock-off.

 

Thanks SCMike! I have met some 3 eared tools in my life, most of whom needed getting whacked with a hammer, so it's all coming together.

Now that I've pressed my luck on questions, anyone want to recommend a 'proper' shade of gray for my lovely jack?

Thanks folks.

 

"Lovely shade of gray"......If there is a remnant of the existing color, find a local auto-body supply house that has color camera (not sure of the correct name) and have them take a pic. They can mix the correct paint and provide a code.
There are a couple of "rattle can" suppliers that can use that code to mix a custom batch.....and it ain't that expensive! Happy Trails.....

 

Is the jack with the integrated handle the most correct for my 1966 OTS?
