Author Topic: OEM Jack Kit Question (Read 5224 times)

dvmotorsports · « **on:** February 26, 2010, 06:13:09 PM »

I have been looking all over google and the forums. I just got done doing an interior restore on an E30. I need to install the jack kit as it came from the factory. I can't find a pic anywhere.

Does anyone here know where one is, have a pic, or can take one?

Thanks

Do you mean the tire jack? If you do, I can snap a few pics. I have a few spare clips for the tire iron because they tend to break.

Or do you mean that upgrade kit with the scissor-style jack and torque wrench? I'd bungee it into the spare tire if possible.

I have the following,

Standard crank jack
Wheel chock
Tire Iron
Tow Hook
(my plastic clip is still good)

I figured it all out except how the chock is stowed.

Ah...I don't have a wheel chock. I'd put it underneath the jack if the pocket is wide enough. Where does the tow hook go? I put mine in the tool kit.

The hook goes on a small hole designated for it on the side carpet wall covering. If no one puts pictures up, I can do so tomorrow.

I wish I has a full jack set...but just for fun. The design on the crank jack mis similar to the VW/Audi one and they call it the widowmaker...so yeah.

Haha, I've been trying to figure this out as well to no avail. Hopefully someone pipes in soon.

Pretty sure it goes underneath the jack with the little pronged end facing towards the jack. That's how my old e30 came from the previous owner.

That's how I have mine too, the foot of the jack sits on the flat extension of the chock. It doesn't rattle or thump at all.

1 minute google search...

the chock does go under the jack, flat part under the jack, and the tow hook in the empty hole where there is a bump in the wall carpet above the jack. the tire iron is somewhat well shown too.
