I have now received my Surrey roof from Roger which I am we'll chuffed with. Good fit, light, easy to fit and best of all I have reclaimed my boot space so all set for the weekends at silver stone classic and Spa in September.

I have a space saver wheel which I intend to carry rather then tyre foam only. Question is, what jacks to people carry with them.

Are there any std oem jacks from other marques that work we'll that I could hunt down at the local breakers? Ideally it would fold up for storage inside the wheel.


Cheers
Brian

I dont carry one but I've seen inflatables that plug into the cigarette lighter. May be the better option. Less likely to come through the fibreglass around bends too.

My car has a scissor jack like the one below. As it's in a bag matching the hood bag I had assumed that it was a standard TVR part.

I think the original scissor jack has a semi circular cut out on the top to locate under the chassis tubes ?
