66 jack

[Morris R.]

Did anyone have their car judged by ncrs using a jack purchased from long island corvette repro jack? Was there any issues with it at all.? Thank you

Re: 66 jack

There are subtle difference. Besides the difference one would expect in the surface/paint of the jack acquired through age and exposure, there are other slight difference. For instance: 1) the "A" is different 2) the top of the jack is slightly different. There are other differences as well but they escape me at this time. Hard to describe or note the difference unless you're very familiar with an original or place the original side by side with the reproduction. Took photos of the differences but don't have the photos here at work we me. Will try and post the photos later.

Also the thickness of the side walls of the jack and the rivets on the side. The weight of an original jack versus a repro is markedly different as well...ARA

Thank you. Any difference between "early" and others. Our SN is near 3000.
