In the Pre Universal Bren carrier they were stowed on their side (and in the other side of the carrier too)

Lynn, That's an interesting picture, I notice the shape if the jack, I have a wartime jack that shape, do you have any other pics of what that jack should look like?.

Kevin.

Hi Kevin, there are a few different types, Some alloy bodied, some steel, some are marked 4 ton while others are marked 4 1/2 ton. Britool is one brand name. they come with a handle, and a two piece rod. I suspect the early ones had a 1 piece rod. The bracket that fits these is the one that dictated the size of the block for the Canadian carriers Same bracket for both types)
