jacking points

[McBoney]

Hi all,

New to Jaguar ownership - got a 1968 420G.

Anyone know where I can get some jacking points? I need LH front and LH rear. Seems they are no longer available... I found a front one on Ebay, but no luck on the rear....

Why not make them? They are mild steel and a mirror image of those on the opposite side.

Hello Phil,

doesn't Martin Robey make them, I'd be surprised if he didnt? Are they similar to the ones on the MK2 saloon?

Hi there,

I will try Martin Robey, thank you.

I may have to get them made as I have not got those skills/equipment.

I am told they are different from any other Jag, except the square tube...

Actually, having had a closer look today, I think I can get away with simply replacing the square metal tubes as those seem to have rotted away. On the rear it also needs the plate onto which they are attached, but the rest seems very solid.

As I have access to the tubing as well as metal plating through my work, I just need a welder that can weld the bits together, I bet that is cheaper than whole new points as the surrounding areas are so solid.

I'll report back when done.

A little diffrent from a MK2 !
Try Jagspares International ,

Thanks, I saw that. More than £300 plus VAT! And I only need the tube section for that area, so I will see if I can get that separately from my workshop and see if I can find anyone to weld that on. If not, I'll have to bite the bullet.

Thanks for the link though!

Hello Alec,

I guessed that you must be here too.
Apparently not; Martin Robey's Mk X / 420G range is very limited.
The Mk2 ones are quite different, but it seems that he can repair the existing jacking points easily enough.
