Always a snag.
I have the tangerine lift plate but just discovered the post that sits in the "Tuna Can" is too wide for either of my jacks. It's about 1" diameter. What Jack do others use or am I just not doing something right (very possible). Thx. Mike |

Hey Chris, if you remember, I recently purchased one of these plates from you (long overdue on my part, I must say). I haven't had a chance to even look at it yet, but reading this thread, makes me want to ask if it will work OK on motors fitted with the Jonesy Tuna Cans?
Also, curious if you've by chance tried it with a 912 motor/trans arrangement? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Hey Chris, if you remember, I recently purchased one of these plates from you (long overdue on my part, I must say). I haven't had a chance to even look at it yet, but reading this thread, makes me want to ask if it will work OK on motors fitted with the Jonesy Tuna Cans? Also, curious if you've by chance tried it with a 912 motor/trans arrangement? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I expect a Jonesy tuna can will fit. The 912E might require slight modification at the tail of the lift plate. When mounting the lift plate on a jack that doesn't have a large hole for the pin, a 1 1/2" thick piece of hardwood or aluminum with a correct center hole can be screwed onto the jack plate as an adapter. It only needs to be 4" or so in diameter (or square). |
