What is the front jack holding on to?

Why isn't this going to fall tail first?

Where can I get jack stands that tall?

Did they install another pair of jack tubes in the car?

Smaller and round?

My friend mechanic'd on one of the Tuthill Porsches for the Safari rally one year, I can ask her more about it.





Seems like a standard rally prep item: New jack receiver bore (just above the factory position) and a "mudguard" to keep muck out of it.





Front stand is supporting the bull bar:



WRC-type jack stands. I really wanted them for my own car. So handy. They carry a truck jack type unit in WRC cars that fit into the same receptacle for tyre changes (usually all 4 corners every stage without jack stands ). Porsche knew what they were doing with those jacks in 911s.

That last image of the jack+stand you posted is really interesting.

The photos on the East African Safari Classic Rally website are so artistic, the land of mud and prehistoric foliage.

When are you gonna get me in for a tour of their workshops?? Tuthill Porsche was on my radar even before I came to the UK. Thought it could be cool to work there until this F1 thing happened. I like particularly like their rally builds.
