    Variations in green dot bilstein jacks

    I have gathered up all my jacks and when lined up you can see some interesting changes that may not be noticed when viewed one at a time. Notice the handle changes and lettering on top cap.
    I have no idea what years or models the variations correspond with.
    Just thought you may want to see.

    OK

    Start sending in what's in your trunk if you're sure it's original to the car.

    '86 930...triangular handle, no depression.

    I have a '73.5 T out in my shop. When I get home I'll check it out and submit here.

    That's the correct jack for 70 thru 72 911s.

    I have seen many '70's with the earlier style jack , and the 700 mile 70 S has the early style . I have seen early 72's with the "VW" jack and later '72's with the green dot jack with the tear drop shaped crank handle . I think the "VW" jack was an interim piece for '71 and early '72 . Mostly speculation by me and the jacks could have been mixed at the dealers like the tool kits .
