Recently acquired a Griff 500, 1997, along with a copy of Steve Heath's 2nd edition manual. However, the car didn't come with the original jack kit, and I can't find any reference to jacking points in Mr Heath's book. So, does anyone know where to jack the beast up and what sort of jack to use in place of the original?

Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I use a trolley jack and either position it under one of the main chassis rails or as they are usually too difficult to reach, under the front or rear outriggers where it is triangulated (immediately behind front wheel/in front of rear wheels). Top tip - if you know you are going to use the jack, drive onto some bits of wood so that the chassis is a little higher and easier to get to. HTH.

Morning, I use an every day scissor jack on my 4.3.
Locate onto the outrigger tube near to the corner you want to lift.

Make sure you locate the 'U' section of the jack snug into the tube and use a bit of padding to avert any scratch damage.
