No answer so far so I will ask if this Holden jack handle is a close enough substitute. I'll have to copy it with a smaller square end or end up with a Holden jack without a handle.

I believe the jack handle Kevin was looking for is different from the one hrpearce is looking for?

Michael,
Its a good thing that a few people like yourself make the effort to answer other peoples questions, or else there would be no answers.
HR Pearce, We are still waiting for an Australian or Kiwi to give you an answer.

This is what came with my Harvey Frost Jack, I know it is a post war jack, but don't know if the handle is something similar.

Thank you all Euan answered my question in "the rebuild" where I had first asked it.

Lance, That is good. That is the British war time issue carrier jack. Your one might be dated post war, but I have 1940 and 1941 dated jacks
I have seen them with steel and aluminium bodies, and rated variously at 4 ton, and 4 1/2 ton. There are different manufactures as well. I cant remember what mine are, but remember that Britool made them.
I believe that in 1938 the extention was a one piece item, but by the time the Carrier Bren NoII, MkII was in production, they were a two piece.
(that means all U.C's had a two piece)
For the Canadians, the bracket on your carrier was designed to fit this jack, and was issued with no block of wood.
Lance, I assume you have yours because it is also part of the Humber kit?
