The longer pattern you have is what we saw issued with the T-16 universal carriers. Odds are it is still functional with other carriers as well though. Rod Shaver in Arizona might still have them available.

Glad I could help

Have a look on the end bit Dave, the strike is fairly light.

[super dave]

Will do when I see my friends again as I returned the originals back to them.

I made one up to Dave's dimesnions today, but the small diameter end seems a little too long. It gets hung up inside the cross tube, and has to be pried out. Does someone have the overall lengths of the Canadian jacking bar, and especially the length of the small end?

[super dave]

I checked the one I made and it fits perfectly in the end of the tube without binding, Is there possibly a difference in your tube ID compared to mine ??

[rob love]

Mine binds in the same spot on both sides. It seems about 3/4 an inch too long, and wedges in quite solidly.

I did get one measurement from someone else. It matches yours almost perfectly with two exceptions. The small diameter is 1.632 (as opposed to 1.72 in your drawing) and it also has a much larger chamfer at the end.

I'll have to get a flashlight into the bore and see whats going on.
