Hi Skip and welcome to the list! Your jack is OEM as I have seen....... Some owners have utilized a variant??? VW scissor jack (bought mine from Bus Depot) that provides a bit more stability and is not as long as the screw jack in your photo (easier for me to store in the Van). The "counter intuitive" hinge in the jack arm works fine, if firmly and fully inserted into the jack points. Even thought the hinge seems to pivot in the wrong direction, when locked into the jack point on the body of the Van;lifts the Van with relative ease. best:: Phil Z. '87 Westy |
