Hey guys
I'm probably shooting myself in the foot in posting this, as it's a item that I want but some of you may try to steal it from me.... oh well, it's a chance I'll have to take

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42614&item=2457524840

is this a legitimate 924 jack??
Thanks

The OEM jack that came in my 931 was a scissors type jack.

Yep, my 931 has the stamped steel scissors jack. But the 944 jack is basically the same and it is aluminum. They are always on Ebay cheap. The one in the picture form your link, I am not familiar with.

I still have the aluminum OE scissor-style jack that came with my car. It's different from the pic in that eBay ad.

The old style jack that was used in the 924 looks like this.

I would not recommend using this style of jack.
