Not mine (I have one), just saw it and thought I'd pass it along for any looking for one.

Hmm. Not exactly 'identical', I think - should have the curved saddle, not the 'L' shaped one. These come up very often on ebay, unlike the LJ22.

It wouldn't be impossible to make and fit the correct saddle, I'd have thought.

Yeah, you're right. It should have a saddle to be exact but the casting is the same. Work well for a replica though and probably shouldn't be used to jack up a car anyway.
Here in the states, they aren't as common.

Well you might be right on using one, but I used mine in an emergency back in 1983 on the Fla. turnpike, and it worked like a champ.

Guys,
I have designed and fabricated a new curved jack top for all folks with round-tube frame guys and a 4" round frame. All you need is a short bottle jack to attach it to. So far, fits 4" round like a glove, with neoprene padding as well.
I am working on final details and will keep you posted. It's pretty cool.
