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.

Agree. Use the factory jack for ceremonial purposes only. Many use the aluminum 944 Turbo (?) scissors jack. Light and more functional, but only for emergencies.
