Rover 14 sports saloon 1935

[ROV014]

Hi does anyone knows were are the Jacking points on the 1935 rover 14 sports saloon. Also if possible were is the position in which the jack was stored?

Hi can't tell you for certain where jacking points are but my 1935 12 has the jacking points attached to the springs they look like T slots? I assume the jack was either under the seat or in the engine compartment where there is a storage section. I don't have the original jack. Mike Coudry maybe able to help?

Yes the jacking points are bolted onto the bottom of the springs, but unfortunately I have seen cars with them removed.

The handbook states the following re jacking:-
"There are four jacking pads bolted to the underside of the road springs; one on each rear spring at the extreme end and one on each front spring midway between the front axle and the from dumb-iron. A dovetail slot is cut in each pad; the head of the jack is so formed that it is a sliding fit in these jacking pads."

I have them as described above fitted on the springs of my 1935 14, the jack is a bottle jack with a separate long handle, and the head of the jack has a slightly curved tounge/shoe that readily slides into the dovetail slot.

Trust above info helps
