Trolley Jack for T350

[NailedOn]

Can anyone recommend a trolley jack for a T350c please. (I've searched the forums to no avail as I thought this was raised a while ago.)

Thanks.

There aren't that many that fit below a TVR and can be a bit expensive. You could always drive the car onto some wooden boards to raise the hight, then use a normall trolly jack to get underneath.

I use a 1.25 ton 'Aluminium Racing Jack' from Machine Mart. Really easy to use and good quality.

Edited to add its made by Clarke.

I'd agree on this one the Clarke low profile jack is great.

I would love to get my 350 up on four axle stands this winter for deep clean and to replace as many of the bolts for stainless steel as I can. Has any one got there car on four axle stands before just using a trolley jack? I do not wont to damage any thing.

i have a clarke jack and thought it was ok but after 12 months seals went and it started to leak. Now have an Arcan one form Costco, a bit more expensive but much better quality, if you don't have a card I could source one for you.

I do this every year. It saves getting flat spots on the tyres. There is good information on the best jacking and axle stand points in Graham Varley's Sagaris Bible.

Just tried this jack, and all good.

There was at least 10mm clearance under the chassis prior to jacking, so all good!

Thanks mate, Do you just jack one side at a time? on to the lowest height then work your way round moving it up one pin hole at a time? or is it best to do it with two jacks?

I only have 1 jack so I do it one side at a time and one pin hole at a time.

Great, thanks for the advice. I am ordering now.

[T350 Chick]

Cool that's what i thought bring on the winter shut down and i can get on this the job thanks mate.
I need to go get four stands that match now! (will look better on the pics)

[NailedOn]

I have the Clarke trolley jack and axle stands. I've had a good look in the handbook and works manual, and cannot find any reference to the jacking points. Maybe it's my age!
Any advice please.
Also is there any risk of chassis damage by jacking wheel up at a time?

Corners of the outriggers, where the flat brace/bolt head is.

Then use axle stands on the front/back part of outriggers.
