Thanks

As I'm a long way from home does anyone know if this will fit in the jacking saddle (cup) of a three tonne heavy duty SGS jack? Or would I be better getting an adapter that removes the saddle completely (when you do this on the SGS jack there is a 20mm hole remaining for the adapter to go into?)

Thanks in advance D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Not sure I'd trust a 16mm pin made from Aluminium to stop a 3t vehicle from sliding sideways off the jack - there always seems to be a side load on the jack as you lift the Disco due to the height of the lift required and the resulting slope of the vehicle.

I also don't think sitting the adaptor in the cup of the jack is as secure as replacing the cup altogether and locating into the hole in the saddle Disco 4 Landmark

You're probably not too far from the truth there

That was my point above. I think I'll leave it and need to get around to getting one machined to fit my SGS jack
