MG Midget jack?

Post by Nimrod »

Will an MG Midget/MGB jack fit the jacking points on a Traveller?

My advice is - NEVER use the jacking points !! Get a small trolley jack (~ £12) - and use it under main chassis members or suspension with wood between jack and chassis to spread the load.

No. The MGB 'hole' is larger and a different shape to the smaller squarer Minor one.

And you should never use a jack from another vehicle as it may not be up to the job the original one was.
