Don has told me about the VW track jack too i will try and get him to send pics. I have heard modern day spring compressers can be used in conjunction with a ratchet quite effectively too.

still always nice to have the pucker tools as they say

Here is the car jack that I used. I don't remember what kind of car it came from. But it was from the late 30's. Its just a bumper jack with base plate replaced by a second grip. Another MLU'er made up the "grips" for me and attached them. Ive used this tool a number of times and it is indespensible.

I think Stewart Loy also has one of these that was made the same way.

Sure neither has the proper part # on it but I paid way less then the 350Euro. and it looks and works identicaly.
