Default Compact Scissor Jack?

I am in the process of installing a new stereo system in my '73. I have decided to mount the amp in the jack storage compartment. I was going to relocate the jack to inside the spare tire wheel but it won't fit. So I am looking for a good compact jack that will fit there.

I have contacted Norco about this one: http://www.handsontools.com/Norco-82...ck_p_4892.html

I am waiting to hear back from them on the closed dimensions.

Anyone know anything about this model jack or where to source any other compact scissor jack that will fit within the spare's wheel?

Appreciate any help.

Don't forget to sell that '73 original. You'll be able to buy 3 aftermarkets. I'll be selling mine when I can find a correctly dated '69.

I already have two bottle jacks but one is too short and one is too tall. If I could find one with the correct range of movement, it should work fine and would definitely fit.
