Default Jack blocks look like a great idea

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

Default No Jack block

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

Phil, the Jack block was only made to make the USA available walker 925 fit the storage bracket, the Ern Lake Jack side by side with a walker 925 is a far superior jack and it's non hydraulic they kept making well into the late 1970's same design.
