DAYTONA-SUPERBIRD SCISSOR JACKS WITH HANDLE , 375.00 WITH HANDLE

[daytonalo]

This reproduction jack is the best on the market right now . It has the correct base , with proper cutouts and has the correct top plate with correctly attached nub , no sloppy welding here . The thread count is not the same although it does have the tapered end . The rivets differ slightly from orig , those rounded rivits are out of production . These are new , not junk yard . painted red with new handle , 375.00 for members only . let me know , taking orders right now !!!! Larry @609-315-2230

This forum has a file size limit of 200 KB, and the JPEGs from most current model digital cameras are about 400 KB to 800 KB in size.  If you email the pictures to me at  xs29j8@charter.net  I will resize them for you.  I will be going to bed shortly tho... 3:45 AM get up time is not that far off...

Well, I am awake again...  almost

I emailed the 10 photos to you a few minutes ago, but will post them as well in case they get lost on the way...

First three pictures...

[xs29j8Bullitt]

Next four pictures... I had to change the file names slightly due to a quirk in the file upload system on this forum.

Last three pictures...  Some of your pictures are blurry, you might try retaking from the same orientation but further back using optical zoom if your camera has that feature.  Or take them from further back and I will crop them...

BTW, nice looking jack repro!!!

Well, I am off to the "salt mines" for the day... I will check my email for more pictures this evenning when I get home (if you retake the blurry ones).

Salt as in table salt , or the crap they put on the roads

Salt as in table salt , or the crap they put on the roads

Sorry, that remark was just a figure-of-speech... that is why I used the quotes on "salt mines".

I work for an aircraft company, and the area I work in is underground... with no windows, no outside sights or sounds.  There could be a tornado outside the building and we would not know unless someone called us or we saw in on the Internet! 

The term "salt mines" was coined years ago when we were working 60-70 hour weeks... slaving away in the mines so-to-speak.    Now we are on 40 hour weeks and rumors of layoffs are running rampant...

Glad you found the resolution setting on your camera.  I usually take pictures at the highest setting like you first did, and resize them as required.

Do you work at the SKUNK WORKS ?

[xs29j8Bullitt]

Do you work at the SKUNK WORKS ?

No, that is out in California... I live & work in the Fort Worth, Texas area.  Sorry, but I cannot go into details.

BTW, did anyone ever get you some dimensions for a Daytona jack hold-down bracket?  Or component weights for a Daytona wing?  I have mine for my Daytona, but I don't know how long it would take to find them.  They got packed up during my last move...  I still have over a hundred boxes to sort through!

[daytonalo]

I see , YF-22 . anyway , no I still need the dimensions for the jack hold down and the exact measurements for the scissor jack handle . A close-up of the scissor jack handle would be greatly appreciated . Larry

[daytonalo]

Allen I desperately need a closeup of the handle , I just closed the deal on 25 nos scissor jacks .

Larry - I will try to find mine this weekend, but I am not sure that I can.  I will call a friend with wing cars and see if he has one handy.

Thanks

25 NOS jacks for a Daytona? Did I read that correctly? You purchased a lot of 25 NOS Daytona jack's?

[daytonalo]

Well , not exactly , although they are new in the box .They are the closest thing to a real superbird or daytona jack out there . Anybody need one ? or two ?

[nascarxx29]

The superbird /daytona jack handles .Where available in repo in my past wingcar newsletter.Dont know if this guy Mike Jobes still does them or not.You might find a handle at sears or someone who sell scissors jacks.Usually you have to rebend the end that goes into the collar

[daytonalo]

Can you please forward the guys # from your news letter ?

[nascarxx29]

Gotta a look I think they were $125,.00.And thats the guys name I recall that was selling them Mike J.Maybe someone else on this wing board remembers this guy .Or has his current contact info

Pete Veight told me that handles were in short supply a couple of years ago.

[daytonalo]

Does anyone have a orig one ? Maybe you could take a closeup of the hinge area and overall measurements , it would be greatly appreciated . Larry

[62 Max]

.   T  is 4 5/8" x 1"





Jack end 23",handle end32" overall.

[xs29j8Bullitt]

Thanks 62 Max!...  You just saved me a lot of work looking for my handle this weekend!

3/8 dia ? Where the pins go through the coupler , are the ends of the rod flattened out and drilled or are the ends just left round ?

[hemigeno]

Where the pins go through the coupler , are the ends of the rod flattened out and drilled or are the ends just left round ?

This one I do know...  the ends of the rod are just left round.

[daytonalo]

Awesome , one more thing , what gauge metal is the coupler ? what dia are the rods ?Can you please give me the length of all bends . Thank you , Larry O

[nascarxx29]

I searched the web for scissor jack handles.But did see this.And it did happen to mention having acme fine threads .

[daytonalo]

Taking orders , 375 with new correct handles . Larry @609-315-2230

[nascarxx29]

Sounds like a decent package deal.Some of the ones I.ve seen claiming to be the real deal on ebay were bogus
.And you could maybe take this existing jack and taper the end shaft weld on top locator pin and cut out the feet and drill the hole for the cotter pin limiter and add the collar bearing.The other alternative is the daytonalo jack.Here what my original and a some other jack I came across looks like

[daytonalo]

The jack in you pic is not even close . How do I know this ? I ordered one , when it came in I said no thanks , its paper thin, and slightly smaller, no bearing . the top plate is not even on the same planet . LARRY

[nascarxx29]

Its all in the details.I had 2 previous jacks both red I had from sometime back.Had all the right details except for the top pin.This reference page shows the jack and handle from a documented low mileage original.  To make a comparision to this newly marketed one.

[daytonalo]

I agree, I can make a jack with the correct thread pitch and correct rivits , only thing I would have to charge 800.00 with handle . Again the new jack is not even close to the orig jack , dimensionally smaller , no bearing , wrong top plate , side bars are thinner . I ordered one to compare , when it came in I said no thanks . Anyway this is the best I can do , maybe you can supply a 100% correct jack , it would take a load off me . Larry

[69_500]

Just had to do it.

$800 are you crazy.


Had to say it.

[daytonalo]

It's a ton of work for a dead nuts correct jack ! Didn't the last one sell for 1200 without handle on e-bay ? Sorry I cant work for free !!!! Larry

[nascarxx29]

Thats why the real ones command big dollars as they do .I sold one with no jack handle or hold down.For a hemi daytona that was at Roger Gibsons.$3K.Supply and demand such as the rear window trim that just sold for $6K

[69_500]

or the NOS nose cone that someone is asking $16K for. No one ever asked you to work for free, just making a point.

[Dga26]

Are these jacks still available Larry?

[daytonalo]

no , post was from 14 years ago . I do have only one jack left , no handle it was my personal jack and it isn't going to be cheap  Only making A-pillar trim , they are listed on ebay . I can do better on price contact me direct
six o nine  315-2640

[Sgt Superbird]

And I have a jack handle that is very close to an original one.

[odcics2]

And I have a bunch of "very close, some exact", need to modified with slotted bottoms and nub on top jacks!
