^ Looks same as one I had to get "as emergency" from Screwfix on way to last race.
Not as low as the L18M is looking at.

At that price worth the punt on those low ones I think.

I had checked the lift height before picking up the Screwfiz on and all was well when I took the road tyres off and put the race ones on. End of event with suspension nicely settled and had to get mates to lift the car 1/2" to get it on the jack ! Forgot about the difference in rim size :) oops, wont make that mistake again.

So if anyone in Scotland wants a Screwfix jack it will be getting replaced :)

You cant get around needing low entry :( ( and ain\'t paying for another aluminium one which has failed after only 3 years :( )
