[Pop's-SS]

G'day All

Just had a fella call who has a Absynth Yellow SS and would like to respray of all things, his car jack.

As he doesn't go on the internet I said I would ask on here for him.

So is it Opaline Blue, Aquarius, Atlantis Blue or even Windsor Blue or even something else.

Thanks .... Barry

I did find it once apon a time and I have some in the shed. I wonder if the tin has the name on it

[enderwigginau]

It's blue-green, so it's either Opaline or Aquarius, that said, I traded mine to an A9X owner to finish his car, and never got anything back for it.....Hpe he got good money when he sold the car.......

[REDA9X]

it's neither of those colurs. I'll have to look in my book

[enderwigginau]

But it's definitely blue-green yeah Mick?

[REDA9X]

it's a light blue colour

[a9x4dr]

Is the colour on this one in anyway like the original?

Looks too dark? That said I haven't seen one new. I've got one somewhere in the shed.

[REDA9X]

wow, good money. I have a genuine SS one here, i might list it
colour is about right

[Collo]

Is the SS one different to normal?

My old LH one, unmolested, was a big greener than that ebay one.

When this has been discussed before, I think the conclusion is that the colour changed before the LX came out.....

Hi all i have a HJ 1974 early one ,i restored the jack on mine and used a colour called Blaze Blue PJ8020 Power Plus colour it was pretty close to the original blue .

This one probably has the original colour too.

[REDA9X]

yes the SS one is different it has a rubber insert so it doesn't damage the painted bumpers

[Collo]

Ah ok, thanks. I didn't know that.

[A9X]

my old jack from my Chamois A9X 4 door.

Is the Jack above ^^^^^^ suit LX only? Or is it exactly the same as LH?

[Ice]

i think there the same brad but could be wrong

[AbsynthHatch]

I thought the Jack was painted GMH blue, available from most auto shops

Cheers mate. Would be good to hear from some one that is 100% certain if that jack is correct or not for LH.

Found some pics in my LH Torana Owners Manual.

Poking around Rare Spares it seems you cant get a LH Jack Usage Decal? Does that indicate a difference between LH and LX jacks?

This is LX Sedan




This is LX Hatch




This is what I believe to be LH Sedan




My efforts
