[Roadsters] Original Emergency Jack - Looking for a crank

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

I'm with Pat.  As long as one is careful about how the car sits when you 
lift it, the jack works fine.  Must be on level ground, though, as the car 
does like to rotate about the jack when both wheels clear the ground.

Have you tried the supplier list?  Rallye, Datsunparts, Sports Imports, Mike 
Kerr?  Others I don't know?  Or, just ask the list.  There must be some of 
these things lying around?
