Thanks for that. I was playing with some alu angle too. The flat plate with
holes
to fit the bolt heads sounds good.

has 4 holes that fit tight over the heads of the 4 bolts on the front face
of the swing arm, the angle is welded to the flat plate so one face is parallel
to the ground to which is welded a small stud to centre and stop the jack
---From slipping off. This arrangement will accommodate any scissor jack that
all
