As some “smart” mechanics are converting the cheaper 2+2 jack into a much more expensive S1 OTS / FHC jack, I have picked up the issue. Here you learn how to distinguish the good from the bad. All pics are taken from my own jack which I currently offer on ebay
S1 OTS and FHC U shaped lever right till end end of jack, lining up with floor plate and has only a 90° radius shape as well as the squared support which will be placed about middle of the car at the floorThe 2+2 has a shorter U shaped lever and has a 180° radius at the end as well as the special support which will be inserted at the pin below the car floor at the front or end of sill
One thought on “How you recognize the correct jack”
Thank you for explaining the differences between the jacks. I am actually looking for a 2plus2 jack. If you hear of any for sale, please let me know. Many thanks Steve.
