correct BJ8 jack

My research shows that the correct jack for a 67 BJ8 is a Shelley LJ225.
Is this correct?

What does the handle look like?
Is it a metal rod with a wooden cross shaft handle?
 
It's a metal rod about 18" long and (I think) about 7/16" diameter, with slightly chamfered ends. This Forum's moderator Reid Trummel had some repros made a few years ago. I think you could make a decent one with some rod and a grinder.

The jack number sounds right, but I'm not positive. There are two versions of the jack, the later/best one has some additional webbing to reinforce the hole where the handle goes. They come up on eBay once in a while, but usually go for $300-400.
