Of course I think you should stamp "REPRODUCTION" on it, but I am more concerned with something else.

I hope you can get your jack tested by an independent lab to verify the lifting capacity, since if it fails during use there is a risk of serious damage and injury. If a screwdriver breaks or a wrench cracks, the damage would likely not be catastrophic, but if the jack breaks in use, that easily could be dangerous to the user, and could severely damage someone's Dino.

Even the original jacks that came with our Dinos are unstable and prone to failure.

In this litigious age, you are pretty brave to take on such a project, and I would be much more concerned about liability issues for property damage and physical injuries, than passing off issues.

Ir I were you, I would think about adding not only stamping "REPRODUCTION," but also "FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY," even if you get it tested, because you certainly don't want to lose your home and businesses if, God forbid, someone suffered severe injuries while trying to use it.

That is a very fair point. I think that the majority of these tools are for display purposes only, because nowadays who wants to jack up their 300k car with an unstable pillar jack. I may add "FOR CONCOURS ONLY" to the bottom, so thanks for the suggestion.

I think synchro has some photos of Dino jacks with bent or twisted jack arms.

You noted on BaT that you knew the 2nd owner of the 246 GT, wide wheel that sold the other day. I have one of the 5 and know of another in Colorado. How do I get in touch with the PTWMotorsports people.

Considering Tony has reproduced all the tools for the Dino, and the only item that is missing is a repro jack, I have now completed the process of manufacturing a prototype reproduction Dino Jack.

I will be having them made in small numbers, and for reference here is a photo of an original next to the repro I have had made. It will be sprayed the correct yellow sometime next week and I will post photos here when that has been done.

Thanks,

Ryan
