When I purchased my Plus 8 in 1998 long door version, it came with the jack handle tucked between the two bonnet half’s and the scissor jack was wrapped in brown paper and placed behind the passenger seat from the factory.
I purchased a jack bag from Heart of England many years ago got it, and which I now carry in my CX Plus Four, a new scissor jack and a 1/2 adapter for the ratchet and all fit in the bag……..Which now lives behind the passenger seat again.

I guess your battery is where my stainless toolbox is, my battery is under the saddle board on the drivers side helping weight distribution.

The battery was in the back, same as yours, the stainless steel toolbox was under the driver’s side bonnet, the toolbox was to small to hold the jack that the factory provided.

I suspect it may be possible that Heart of England may have been the supplier of my Mogs jack bag, given Kevin may have bought all of the SS extras at HoE which he used in the reassembly of my Mog..?

They sell them at Morgan Spare USA but can't find one in the UK Jack Bag

I can only say that I wish I had known this before I decided to swap my Roadster in for a Plus Four. Like others I have paid a lot of money for a spare wheel and now find I won't have the tools to change it in the event of a puncture. Having had a classic Plus 4 and Roadster I, foolishly it now appears, assumed there would be the storage place under the rear shelf with the tools including a jack in it. I've had Morgans for seven years and have covered nearly 50,000 miles in them in that time which acrtually is only really six years due to Covid. How do I now continue to do that sort of mileage here and sur le continent without the means to change a wheel? How are you guys planning to overcome this issue. And BTW did MMC really say there's nowhere to put a jack so we don't provide one? John, assuming the rear woodwork is similar to Trads, some have swopped to keeping the jack & wheel brace tied to the spare wheel bracketry ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/09/20190907_112111_resized.md.jpg)

It put me off the lack of any storage space at all. I guess you could make a box for the rear shelf

Back on thread I suspect MMC are aiming for the "new" customer base millennials that will always get a man/woman in and never get their hands dirty. No that was us, the Aero owners. we could not risk damaging our nail polish. 
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
