Not to belabor this thread but I see that in some postings, it is noted that the jack handle slid into/ is stored inside the screw jack.
If you look at the picture on my post of my jack set up, the jack handle has its "own" clip which is how it was when I acquired the car from Germany in 1986.
Is this incorrect?
Could it be that the handle "holder" is supposed to be for the something else, maybe the wheel alignment tool?
