I have decided to reproduce the:
Block, Jack Mounting, Complete. C01UC-105215 I have sourced most of the items including correct fasteners and the base wood materials, and today have located the necessary woodworking shop who will manufacture them to the original dimensions, including the slots, rounded edges and 3 piece construction of Canadian hardwood.. They will be copied, stained, metal plate painted and marked exactly as per the original. Pictures of an original in fair condition have been floating around the net for a few years now. I own this block. (One of only two in Canada that I have seen.) I will be making a one time run of these items for anyone who is interested. Cost will between $80-100.00. I will sell them at cost. If anyone is interested please drop me a note so I can produce the necessary quantity's. Again this will be a one time run of a quality reproduction. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Note the blocks pictured are original and NOT the ones being reproduced. Thanks, Harris Last edited by B. Harris; 15-10-15 at 01:59. |

Hi Bruce
Reproductions Jacking Block sound like a great idea, and being willing to share your expertise in fabrication makes it even better. Was jacking blocks fitted to the jack unique to Carriers or were the common bit of kit for other vehicles as well? Cheers Phil

Gents, get an Ern Lake 4,ton Jack the Brits designed the angle iron bracket for and you don't need a jack block.

At cost??? What is this; communism? It is capitalism that makes North America Great. But it is this kind of gesture that makes MLU Great. Looks like you may soon have your elusive socket, and several other collectors are going to get an excellent copy of a hard to find accessory. |

I have one of these blocks. My uncle gave it to me years ago, but I didn't know anything about it, other than it was made to fit a jack. The problem is, l don't really know where it is now. It definitely did not get thrown away, but it must be hiding in the deep shadows somewhere. I will need to keep my eye open for it. I recall that it was in perfect condition (probably not used much).

You wouldn't think grown men would get excited over a block of wood, but I know I just did. ![]() Wayne: There is nothing like the excitement of a new (or in this case an old) find. I think it's often one of the best parts of this hobby. |
