Title: W T B 1942 series 67 jack and tools
Post by: gary griffin on June 04, 2013, 01:24:57 PM

As I finish my car I am starting to look for the items required in the trunk.

I have the storage hub cap for the spare but it is not in the best condition so I could use a better one but more than that I need the retaining rod or bolt which ever it is called.

I would like to have the correct jack but will also carry  a modern jack in case I actually need to change a tire. I don't know if the series 67 takes the same jack as the lighter cars??

I would also like to have the correct tool kit and of course I will carry spares and modern tools also.

I also would like to find a correct chock unless making one would be correct??

Gary,

Contact CLC member Bruce Berghoff for the tools.  Bruce is also on this forum. 

There are dimensions in the Class 12 Authenticity Manual for the wheel chock (let me know if you need them).  You can make it out of a piece of 4 x 4 lumber.  Paint it black and you've got it.

I'll have to check the master parts book regarding the jack.

Jeff

Thanks Jeff,  but I was told yesterday the Bruce Berghoff had retired recently and sold his inventory to Steve Cooley.  I will check it out tomorrow as it is pretty late in Florida even though it is only 7:12 here.

Finally remembered to check on the bumper jack cross reference:

The bumper jack you want fits the following cars:

1942  - all series except series 75 commercial chassis
1946  - series 60S, 61, 62
1947  - series 60S, 61, 62
