http://www.calcarcover.com/ 21308000 This might be a handy thing to carry, especially if you don't have Run-Flats anymore. It should fit in what we refer to as the trunk. Price seems high but it may be available somewhere else. ~bg |

Several years ago I found a very nice hyd. scissors jack at Pep Boys( I think they are also avail. at Post Tools and others) They come in a very nice "blow Bottle" box that allows it the be nested between the hinges at the bottom of the trunk. I also got a METRIC star folding lug wrench and after wrapping it in several red shop towels was able to nest it just to the rear of the jack box. I also came up with a padded cradle that fits into the jack working head so that theres a proper padded head that won't scratch the under side of the a-arms. The jack works very well on the front or rear a-arm bottom allowing the wheel to easily be lifted off the ground in an emergency or for car shows like I do for showing the front brake system I've developed. This jack sells for around 50.00 and comes in several colors too. The insert I developed fits inside the box making this system very compact. I also carry a 12 vt. compressor too. Hope I helped- Obi-Wan |

Nice compact jack, but it's lift is limited by it's design... no lift specs are given. Dont think it would do the job from the frame points but would be a good emergency jack from the a-arms to put on a spare if we had one.  |

Good point. I think that I would remove the flat tire/rim assy and then sit there and cry until someone came along and felt sorry for me. ~bg |

What's next? A modified Lincoln Continental spare tire carrier for the trunk lid?  Maybe Dan could do his fabulous artwork and show us what it would look like. ------------------ |
