My BJ8 jack is missing the smaller threaded rod with the tang on the top, all else is OK. Does anyone make parts for the Shelley Jacks?

Thanks,
Phil.

Can't help with the screw, but I have a perfect reproduction handle from our own Editor Reid; I'll start the bidding at $500 ...

Hey, I have a few of those remaining and would take far less. Make me an offer!

Backstory: They were made by the prisoners at the United States Disciplinary Barracks (military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas) in 1991 when I was stationed there (Fort Leavenworth, not the prison). The prisoners were allowed and encouraged to take on various handicrafts and such as a way to train them in skills that might come in handy in their post-confinement life.

I commissioned a run of reproduction jack handles, loaning them an original Shelley jack handle as an example (the simple kind that is basically a simple rod about 15 or 18 inches long - don't remember exactly and I don't have one handy - with the sharp edges at the ends beveled slightly, then cad plated). I was impressed with the final product. I've sold a number of them over the years and still have maybe a half-dozen remaining.

I also had a Jensen Interceptor painted by the prisoners while I was stationed at Fort Leavenworth. You pay only for materials, but that's another story.
