Rocketcar Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hi Everyone, Can anyone please advise me which jack my 1974 car should have as I am looking for one. I noticed they changed over the years so need to make sure I get the right one. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type911 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 New only one available, is a silver finish version, the original would have been black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketcar Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks, heavy seen plenty of originals second hand on eBay but not sure if they differ - type, length etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketcar Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Many thanks Ivan. Now I'm on the hunt for one and many of the tools too. This type is listed as 74 onwards but its different again? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-1974-89-Green-Dot-Bilstein-Jack/282272458593?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3Ded588fbd86294bec8d12a5e9d69aa1a9%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D172142381167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proporsche Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) i think that would be a Vw bug Bilstein jack not Porsche 911 jack Edited November 28, 2016 by proporsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketcar Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 ok like so although the year is started as 84 onwards? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-930-1984-1989-Bilstein-Factory-Green-Dot-Jack-Original-Mint/182369746503?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3De418f0e70a104593aea574eddd3b6bcc%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D282272458593 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proporsche Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I do not know exactly i would say in 1975 i had already this jack in my 1st 911 before is possible too. The latest pic is most likely you should get...get the most ugly looking because if they work you can send it and paint it your self and it would be cheaper;-) Also what tools are you looking for? I have this one it also includes the gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketcar Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Another one advertised as 1976, The handle teardrop shape is smaller on this type This one has a larger teardrop advertised as 1984-89 This one but I have some of the tools already and the bag.

proporsche Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 nice tool kit ,what are you looking for it ?I guess the alternator nut wrench...? the difference i do not know on that tear drop....it would be nice to see the numbers on it...i would imagine the shorter t.d is an earlier type....

Rocketcar Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks Ivan although unfortunately that's not my toolkit. Mine is the same but with barely any tools in it. I need to make up a list of what I need. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type911 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think the jack has changed number 4 times, it was a 914 number. Be careful what you buy on ebay as there is some muppet selling 944 tool kits as early 911 versions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketcar Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) From what I understand the 74 kit comprises: The kit should be: Bag Wheel wrench 8 x 9 mm open wrench 10 x 11 open wrench 12 x 13 open wrench 14 x 15 open wrench 17 x 19 open wrench Angular pipe wrench Pliers Narrow V belt Bag with 5 fuses Holding Key for V belt Pulley Spark Plug Wrench Hexagon wrench Towing eye Yellow Handle with 3 screw drivers 19/22 Box wrench Please feel free to correct any mistakes.. I think these are the right tools for a 74 Edited November 29, 2016 by Rocketcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketcar Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Got there in the end. 1974 jack has the small teardrop shaped handle and a metal cap with no dimples. Middle one out of the 3. Was used 1973 to early 1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
