I've got the US General one from stateside tuning who also sell on ebay. Its still pretty heavy, but compared to a not ally one its not too bad I guess. Main thing is the 3.5" saddle height. If you get one, be careful if you try to top up the hydraulic fluid, I nearly totally stripped the thread of the filler (3mm long aluminium threads are a bad idea unsurprisingly).

Best trolley jack at the moment is from Costco. 3T, really low saddle (ideal for the GT3) and about £70!

google stateside tuing for this one if you want this one - they are cheaper. I don't think they actually get much lighter though, and its still much lighter than a trad steel one. Just be really careful with the filler cap!

Can't believe that you didn't already have one, surely there must be loads kicking around your unit!

lol you've lost me. Like I said mines not that light. Its the original one that people got excited about a while ago though, rather than one of the flood of cheaper imitations.

To be honest, its just a jack and I'd probably have saved the money on a steel one in hindsight!

Wayne at Volksheaven had some last year that he'd brought over. They were v. light and looked decent quality.
