VE3 bumper jack lug wrench

[x66 714]

My car is an orginal factory VE3 car & I'm trying to get the correct lug wrench back into the car. The car was built in Norwood so Universal was the major company that provided jacks from what I've been reading here. I have several lug wrenches but the only one I have that matches specs from another Norwood car is gray with the letter "U" on it. My jack base is also different than others have said about their cars built in late 69. Could this be the correct lug wrench for a VE3 car built in Norwood? Input please. Thank you, Joe

I guess the possibility exists that the wrench were different than a standard jack assembly, however no reason for them to be different. Universal- UN - I am sure supplied both hooks, (thus both assemblies), the VE3 model hook used the same grey hook with the added VE3 feature riveted on, then the entire thing painted blue - most likely to quickly distinguish them apart.

Need to know the build date of your car. Only change I am aware of in the lug wrench is that they went to a deeper lug hole for the 69 model year to accommodate the lug nuts for the SS wheels.

You are in the time frame for the transition to the 70 style base.

Being late has made quite a few things different with this car

Hi Joe,

I too have a VE3, Endura Bumper Car and I’ve always been curious about the jack jaw color. If I may ask, what color blue is that?

Thank you,

Dan

I didn't repaint it Dan. It's still factory. Sorry, Joe
