    Does anyone know if a replica jack is available or if the the jack supplied was the same/similar as one used on another car; a Fiat for example?
    Thanks in advance.

    The jacks were made by Battaini and were specific to the Dino. E-bay the word Battaini and you will find Alfa Romeo jacks that are quite similar and can be painted yellow to 'look' like the real deal. Converting an Alfa jack to be exactly like a Dino one is a TON of work and not worth the effort even though original jacks are about $1K to buy.

    Will and early 60's/70's Alfa jack work on a Dino?

    the answer is a resounding "NO".

    I wouldn't even use a Dino jack on a Dino unless you're brave or desperate.

    Join AAA, get a card, use the toll free number, have them jack the car with a floor jack if you get a flat. That side pod jack point isn't really stable on a 40 year old car, and if the jack slips, then your door is going to pay the price.

    Tom, Thanks for info.
    I think you met my very good friend Martin McGlone around the time of Pebble Beach this summer.
    He was running a GP Bugatti at Laguna Seca. I come over to Laguna Beach every couple of years. Next time I'll pop in to see what jacks you've got.
