    Thanks Scott. Both look like mine but in top shape...! I see your long version has two end caps.

    the top of the long one is rubber....which they sell as a separate part in a few places.

    If it's any help, PET says the part number for the jack identified as "1963 Reutter 356B T6 Cabriolet" is 644.722.010.00 and it was used through 1968 (-68). It's usually called a "Bilstein Jack" (Bilstein made/makes a bunch of different jacks) and it was introduced circa 1955 and went through several changes without a new part number--that's the final version used from '62 on. See www.356tools.com/Jack.htm In good condition its worth maybe $250 to $350.

    The rubber buffer for its top is available from Sierra Madre Collection, Aase, Stoddard, NLA Parts, etc.

    There's a much harder to find spring-steel collar thingy that retains the rubber buffer. Your pictures aren't too clear but I think yours is present. Restoring these jacks is much easier with a replacement shaft but I don't know anybody now making good shafts.

    These are often confused with early Volkswagen jacks. On a VW jack, the prong is 90° to the shaft--on a Porsche jack the prong angles down.

    ------------------

    Part # 914.721.010.10 was used through 1971 when it was replaced by part # 914.721.011.10. I know much less about these but the jack identified as "1971 non-Karmann 911T coupe" does indeed look like the 914 jacks I recall so I guess it could match the part number. It should be the correct choice for a '70 911.
