Default Jack fix

Right heres one i've been meaning to do for a long while. I'll take photo's later.

I took a standard A8 jack (the jack of death) and took the head off it, i then flattened the under side of the plasti and drilled 2 holes in it to line up with 2 hole that were already in the donar jack and bolted it to the top plate.

The donar jack was from a Saab 9000, this weighing around 1400kg's so only a few 100kg's short of a full A8.



Photo's of the modded jack to follow
