Where can I find a replacement jack?
When I bought my 86 last year it did not have a jack with it. I'd like to replace it and have tried searching for it, but am having troubles. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
-Thanks

Try a Porsche dismantler/ junkyard. There are a bunch coast to coast. Out here we have Parts Heaven and EinMalig. to name a couple. East Coast? Hopefully someone will chime in.
You might also try asking your local P-Car mechanic...I scored one from a race shop's 'junk/weight removal' bin for $25. Also might try swap meet ? I'd expect to pay $50- 100 from a dismantler. Cheers, Cooper

The stock jack leaves a lot to be desired and is fairly unsafe for anything besides changing a tire. Even changing a tire on dirt shoulder could be dangerous. Unless you want the correct jack for show, there are better alternatives. I found a Mazda aluminum scissor jack that works very well.
