Parts are right. Just need to drill a 16mm hole in the bottom of the adapter so that it fits over the jack. Not right through!! Smile

You remove the "cow horns" from the jack by pushing out the retaining pin. Some drill the side of the adapter to fasten it on to the drill but it isn't necessary as the weight will keep it in place. It also has the advantage that, if you have a trolley jack, you can use the pad on it. John

You would be better with a metal version of the adapter - they do exist but harder to find.

That one is a tough rubber, so OK as a lifting pad, but not as good with a hole drilled through the middle of it

Alternatively, you can take a grinder to the jack itself - there's some ideas on this thread Thumbs Up

I agree about the metal one. Got mine here:

by far the cheapest. John

In Blue Peter speak,
Here is one I made earlier.
Just bent the galvanised nail slightly to make it a tight push fit.

My sprinter jack is due any day so will also be buying an adaptor.

With the metal one is it easy to drill a 16mm hole in the bottom? I don't have a pillar drill or anything similar which would have been ideal Big Cry 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

The metal one is aluminium so easy to drill. The most difficult part will be ensuring it is at right angles. Don't you have a friendly garage nearby or someone with a pillar drill? John

Thanks John Thumbs Up

Thinking about it my father used to have one so probably buried in his shed somewhere. Will have a look next time I am there. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

A simple Heath Robinson mod that works OK if you can't drill the 16mm hole.

Find a plastic bottle top that is just over 16mm diameter.
Use a self tapping screw to connect it to your rubber pad, such that it just pushes over the 16mm piston
The plastic threads inside the cap just grip the piston sufficient to hold it firm.
I think the one I played with came off a small bottle of cough medicine. G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

The problem with that is that, under load, you are depending on a self tapper into rubber to remain stable if there is any lateral force when jacking the vehicle. I wouldn't be happy. Sad John

I too bought a sprinter jack, but found the other day when I had a flat that the sprinter jack was but a little bit tall about 10 mm to slide under the Rangie, I had to raise the suspension to get the clearance to slide it under .

The adapter mod adds a further 15mm to the overall height, but it fits in easy with the suspension raised, and then easily lifts the car sufficient to get the flat off and the new wheel on. G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999
