When I took my new '83 911SC to the 1983 Parade and had 3 flats in a week, I learned that Porsche gave you a big plastic bag to put a flat tire in, so your passenger could hold it in their lap in the front seat while you drove on the spare to the nearest repair shop.

See, all your problems solved, in one post.

No sheiße, you used to have an RS60? That's probably come up before and I forgot.

I almost bought a spare and jack from a 986 years ago. A guy had a bunch of cars that I assume he bought at ins auctions or something. He was going to charge me $150. I was too lazy to make the 2 hour drive to go get the stuff. Now I'm paying the price.

I could always buy new...
Porsche spare/jack kit for 987 for $1700 at a fairly well known FL based Porsche dealer that has good prices on parts online. I don't see the kit as available on PP.

I've got a torque wrench, so that's not a problem. As cool as it would be, I'm not sure that the 600ftlb torque wrench would be useful for me. I don't have a big bag to put at tire in, but I've got garbage bags. I'm not sure if the rear would fit in either of the trunks so a bag might be nice. I don't think my old '88 came with the bag (or the compressor or rubber gloves).
