Interesting, but if you think jack height is an issue on the roadster, try a
Porsche 914 or a Miata! <g>
Gee, who'd a thunk floor jacks would've generated all this email? <VBG>

Subject: Re: he's got the jack!
A couple of comments on jacks.
The first roadster I bought in '71 had 2 metal wheel chocks shaped somewhat
like this. _/^\_ Painted same yellow as the jack. I don't know if they
were stock or added by the PO. I have never had a problem when I used them.
On floor jacks: I had been able to slide my 3 ton jack under the frame
rails. A few weeks ago I installed a set of Koni shocks. When I lifted the
car, removed the jack stands, and lowered the car, I was unable to remove
the jack. The Konis lowered the car by about an inch. Now I have to jack
from the front plate or rear end. So if you get a floor jack be aware of
its lowest height.
Richard.
