No problem, you're lucky I still get emails from this place, I haven't been on here in two years hahaha. I'm in Industrial Design now, everyone makes fun of the flames. I admit it's pretty cheesy :) Still works great though, I ended up replacing the hydraulic oil with motor oil because it was...

I ordered a double valve pump from Canadian Tire, they had it shipped directly from Korea. I don't think they sell that specific jack anymore though. It wasn't very good quality though, I would suggest finding another similar jack and see if you can order the pump seperately. Good luck!

Mostly done :D Specs: - Two pumps to reach maximum height (with no weight on it) - 2.6 inches of clearance when lowered - 18 inches maximum height - 1.5 tons maximum lift weight - Materials include Aluminum, Stainless steel and 4140 Steel Everything made by me and my friend of course.

It'd be too expensive. There's a lot of time put into it. Also the only materials used were aluminum and stainless steel. The SS alone makes it impractical to sell. But yeah, Nos stickers would be sweet, it'd definitely make it go faster.

Right right, I'm just not used to hearing that expression. Not all Quebecers have a french background.. obviously I do though :D Everything is computer controlled

It's all engraved with a #5 Center Drill, except for the TGM 2009 which was done with a 1/8" End Mill. There's my name and my partner's name on the side. TGM stands for Technique de Genie Mécanique (Mechanical engineering). I painted over everything then sanded it off and polished the aluminum...

Here's a little update after I cleaned it up a bit.

Eh! Yeah I'm from Quebec.

Thanks! I looked at a similar jack they had at CanadianTire (which is discontinued) and based it off that one. We decided to make it lower and correct all the defects that it had. We're also using all aluminum and stainless steel parts. The only steel part are the 4 bolts that hold the pump...

Here's where I'm at with this..

How about a teaser pic

I ended up finding a perfect pump/piston for the job. I can finally get this project going, I'll try to get some pics up whenever it's finished.

All car jacks use a modified bottle jack (modified base). A car jack like this: And a bottle jack like this, but with a modified base. I'm trying to find a bottle jack with the modified base for a car jack. I'm making a car jack for a school project but can't find any spare parts for...

Yeah I thought I was logged in earlier and was wondering why there was no search function. I just found a lot of stuff actually, thanks for the help. I was actually thinking of making a lightweight hydraulic car jack. We (me and my partner) were hoping on making a double piston one but we've...

I'm looking for some ideas for my mechanical engineering school project. It can be anything but needs to have at least two of the following: Machining Welding Automatisation Assembly Also it must be entirely realisable during the semester. Really not looking at making stirling engines...
