I need a replacement compact scissor jack!

I had the stock scissor jack that came with my 2011 Fit but it was damaged when using it on a friend's car so I need to replace it. I bought one at Walmart but it was too big to fit in the spare tire compartment, so it was a few inches bigger than the stock jack when collapsed. I really want to find one (used or new) that fits in the compartment with the tire because I don't want my jack to be anywhere else in the car.

Does anyone have an idea where I could find a compact scissor jack? Or does anyone in Fit Freak land have an extra stock jack available for sale?

New = dealer
Used = junk yard

You are in Nashville. Try Pick-A-Part or Pull-A-Part. I have been to both and both have a good inventory.

If the junk yard isn't productive, hit ebay. A quick search showed them ranging from $16 to $25 + shipping.

Also looking for a jack replacement 2007 Fit base

My jack was accidentally lost, and I'm looking for a replacement as well. I've checked ebay and my local salvage yards, and have not found one yet.
So I'm looking for other options. Obviously I just want it to fit in the doughnut.

Are 1.5 ton scissor jacks a standard size - which is what I'm assuming would fit a doughnut at the smallest tonnage?

Since the Fit was based on the old Civic - I'm thinking those may work as well (I found a few older model Accord and Civics on ebay)
Would any jack made for a Fit work, since the body is a similar size?
Super appreciate any thoughts!!!

I think you could use one from any Civic or Accord since those cars are probably heavier than the Fit... Should be an easy find.

Look for a jack this size

I don't remember exactly where I found this guy, but I think it was either a salvage yard or a thrift shop (the kind of all kinds of weird shit). But it fits perfectly with the spare and I've used it a few times already do some break stuff on my car.


Fits next to the spare inside the compartment.

This one has the handle built into it.

Gives you an idea how long it is when collapsed. About 16 inches.
