Can someone please advise and or confirm an early VW jack will work on 1970-1971 early model car?
Attached is a pic of an early 914 trunk with the correct jack and a pic of an early VW jack that appear the same. Thanks in advance for any feedback!! Cheers, Yello914   |

Not the same.
The Porsche jack has two receivers for the handle. One for up, one for down. The VW jack has one. And that's just the beginning. But......it'll work ! PS is that junky blue car for sale ? |

What you need to remember, if you don't know already, is that these jacks are very dangerous. They can kick out unexpectedly on uneven ground. I carry a standard scissor Jack and a jack receiver thingy for safety.
