High-lift jack mount




The overall view. A spare wheel on the rear carrier just clears the jack.

Bottom bracket bolts onto the rear cross-member.

Another view. This is fabricated from a bolt welded to a length of steel strap, with a tubing sleeve brazed on to act as a spacer. I had to file down part of the thread to fit through the holes in the jack upright, which made it easier to drill a hole through for a lock. The bolt takes a spare wheel-nut (15mm fine thread, I think)

The top bracket bolts in with the spare-wheel carrier's hinge. I put locks onto both bolts after losing a high-lift in Canberra (Australia), when someone unscrewed the top bracket and used the jack as a lever to remove the bottom bracket (and parts of the rear cross-member).
