Daytona Scissor Jack

[Speedfreak]

Remember reading somewhere here of someone making a repop jack, but can't seem to find it anymore. It was some guy that makes other parts too, called him once but lost his number.  Does anyone know where that thread it or the guys contact info, thanks.

What kind of parts does Rick repro?
Does he have list or a web-site?

I personally know Rick he is a friend of mine he is always tryin to come up with something new for the aero cars. and always tryin to improve his parts he is kind of anal about them bein as good as he can get them. I think he sells more jacks than anything, and the parts that he reproduces are all steel, plus he has a room full of used parts. everytime I come home he has always got something for me it seems like.

I MIGHT get around to making some more of these:

Was not aware.  Very cool!

These threads come up and I remember for a while to fetch mine from my friend's house.  He used it as a pattern for his like 8 years ago and it's been in his hall closet since then 

[WINGIN IT]

Well hopefully your friend didn't have his closest cleaned out in the past 8 years 

[pettybird]

Nah I trust him.  That doesn't mean I don't ASK about it once in a while, though.

Trust but verify ...

I've seen Pete's jacks in person, side by side with an original.  If he didn't tell me which was which I wouldn't of known.  They are PERFECT!  If I needed one, he's the guy to contact.

So have I.  Other repros I have seen use different jack screws which are a dead giveaway it is not original.

I was lucky enough to find a jack at a local junkyard that with a little modification is going to be a great repo so to speak.  Bill cut the base slots, welded the piece on top, blasted and painted it.  Yes, I did get my headlight buckets and Z-braces from Rick.  They fit pretty good. He did tell me that I'd probably have to hog out some of the holes like the originals and I did, but they seem to fit pretty nice and do look better than the others.  Not sure yet what I'm going to do with the others.  Would be good for a clone.  Might sell them when all done but Stu gets first dibs!
