I also use a scissor jack from an old Honda Civic junker (in a pick it yerself junk yard for $5) because it collapses enough to fit under the car when a tire is flat. Learned the hard way from a friend with a BJ7 when several of us had to physically lift the
right rear to get his whatever jack under it to change out a flat. I keep my “original” on the shelf.<br>

I carry geared scissor jacks; these are a bit, only a bit, easier to use than 'direct drive' jacks. They
<i>should</i> work better than they do, probably because of cheap, stamped gears, but still better than direct drive. I bought them years ago, and only found the second one after a bit of online searching; for some reason they are not available anymore (I have
no idea why, except they were a tad more expensive).<br>

<div dir="auto">As I continue with the restoration of my BN2 there are some considerations I need to address. This is not a 100% concours restoration. I am compromising in a few areas for better functionality and use of the car. For example, my voltage regulator
is converted to positive ground solid state. In the case of carrying tools, I am not seeking a concours tool kit, to include an original jack. For those of you that feel the same way, I was wondering what a good modern aftermarket jack would be a good choice.
What jack do you carry with the car?
