No worries John.

Suggest you buy a jack handle from Fiat which for all practical purposes will do the job just as well.

I don't have any spare handles, but could make a replica, as I have nearly all the bits!  ;D

If you are interested in that I can work out a price for you.

Kindest regards,

Chris, I took the plunge last year and made a batch of the 'gears' anyway, but still have a few left if you really need one.

Here's my latest escapade with Pedestal Jack the lofty one, who belongs to my Appia coupe.  She has a dent in the LHS sill because a previous owner used Bottle Jack on her, as Pedestal Jack's nut was stripped...

Made a new one in brass to match the acme thread, dollied up the inside handle shaft, gears, and even cast a new top cover which was missing.  The foot was also horribly dented, which required removal using a Dremel to carefully cut the welding.  Now all's well that ends well.  :)

Guy, looks interesting but not being a Aprilia man how does it locate, I assume we're looking at the jack from the top?

Sorry Brian, my previous photo showed the pedestal jack disassembled.  Here's what it looks like now it's finished.  It works by inserting the pin from the jack's leg into a hole in the Appia's sill.

Typical Lancia, the hole has a beautiful chrome plug, and the jack is also well made - even a ball bearing race below the bevel gears in the head to make things turn easily.  :)

Vey similar in principle to  a jack I had with a 1963 Mini, but of much superior quality manufacture!

I was having lunch with ann Aurelia owner a few weeks ago, when he told me that the Aurelia jack is the same as the Appia's, but has a round 'foot'.

Can anyone with an original Aurelia jack confirm this please?
