Default Bottle jack

Cheers Rick,

I decided to buy it. Just got home now and tried the great heavy thing under one of the CMP axles. Quite a fortunate find. Best 45 quid I spent in a while! There is about 1.5" clearance from top of jack to axle, with the shaft fully down. The curve of the jack top fits very nicely into the axle tube curve.

This is going "straight to the pool room", or at least into the truck toolbox when it gets put on.

I picked up majority of the ordered bearings, cups, and seals, from Gympie Bearing Service this morning. Only waiting on one more seal now, which should be in by Tuesday. Had trouble getting correct size gasket paper. The thinner sizes are not kept in stock. There is one place that isn't open on Saturdays, and that is the one most likely to have them. If not, they can definately order in for me through the week. I got the last lot of new bolts this morning. Didn't want to use some (now all) of the weathered old ones.

I should get the transfer case parts painted tomorrow, provided I feel well enough. They can have the week to 'cook' in the workshop then. Reassembly can wait until I have every part to hand.
