This subject has probably come up before but I cant find any pictures and without a pic or two I have no idea what I'm looking for.
My October 1959 special sedan didn't come with a jack or tool kit. So I am wondering if anyone can show me by pic what should be in the tool kit and what the jack and jacking handle looks like. To locate and purchase the correct items will be my next project.


Look forward to hearing from anyone that can help

Regards

This is the jack and handle, a little difficult to find because they were inferior in design.



It was replaced by the ratchet handle jack for the FB and it remained at least up to HR.

Tool kit from the master parts book



Note that the hammer and shifter were not in FE or FC, they were discontinued after FJ.
The screwdriver is orange handle and has "Turner" on it.

Thanks Ken, much appreciated, I note the Jack is a grey colour, is it the same as the engine?

As for the tool kit, Ive never seen anything like them at any of the swap meets I go to, however now I know what I'm looking for i can look harder!

Thanks again Ken. Would the late 59 model FC sedans have the rachet handled jack or the type in the photograph?

To my knowledge (and the parts book), the ratchet handle jack was not available till FB.
There is a guy in the Vic club who has a set of tools available and I'm pretty sure the bag is available as a repro.
I'll get back to you about it.
Yes jack is engine grey- this also provides a colour guide to the correct colour of FE and FC engines. They should be the dark bluey grey colour, not the lighter mid grey colour that you see a lot of grey engines painted
