It's pretty cool as the wrenches you need to turn the scissor jack just snaps onto a couple of holding tabs, so everything you need is on the jack itself, and you can just slip that into the stock scissor jack spot on the 240 for ease of carrying it around with you.
So... I'd say, see if you can go into a junkyard and look for the scissor jack from a newer Mercury Mariner.

That sounds cool, too bad I didn't check this thread until now since I posted that question. Today I bought a regular scissor jack and I pried off the top part, without it it's about 7cm tall. Can't complain though, now it fits great under the factory jack points when I slip it in through the wheel well behind the side skirt. I disliked having to take off the skirts every time I wanted to switch wheels, now I can finally do it quickly and anywhere. Car needs to go lower though, 205/45/17 is not cool.
