    Does anyone have a photograph or details of the correct place that the Jack tool pouch and chock are supposed to be stored? Any pictures or info would be appreciated. This will be on the 1973 246 GT

    In a closet safe and sound so they don’t get stolen.

    Mine are in my safe. That also insures I'll never be tempted to actually use the jack.

    Seriously, there should be a rubber tie down on the outside of the tub in the frunk (with a base on the bottom) for the jack, and another rubber tie down under the spare for the chock.

    Earlier Dino’s had the Jack location designed for outside the spare tire surround, later ones did not.

    In all seriousness, most place their jack and tools in the side pockets of the trunk that way they don’t roll around when driving.

    Store the tools as others have said. Go online and buy a jack etc. to actually use.

    Yes and those cars also had a pocket on the driver’s side for the emergency triangle. Both jack and triangle are strapped down with bungee similar to the wheel chuck

    The best solution is to see if there are any Dino Compendium left to buy as this easily shows and tells the good story with precision.
    This specttacular book will focus your eye on the Dino and only.
    A bit German in English but still lovely and the price goes up as a collectorable
