I called a couple of people locally & had no joy, still trying other options though.
I took both the images from the previous contributors & merged them into a single drawing which hopefully represents what we are after.
I haven't checked the thread detail but presume it's the same thread as the hex bolt on the SGS TJ3-LP.
I'm not sure if a screwed in adaptor is going to give the greatest flexibility compared to a free spinning drop in adapter?

Hi nick
Many thks for taking the time to redraw that , indeed as u say ref the thread , see on the trolley jack it specifies a 20mm hole and indeed the thread being a M24
My trolley jack is still in the box and at the moment I can’t lift it as I was going to take some measurements for u to help out, ie width of saddle etc
fingers crossed someone will be able to make these up, also if u need money up front that’s fine with me if it helps u get a min bulk order
Plus would it help us in any way if the thickness of the adaptor was increased plse or do u think it will make the adaptor unstable
I guess if it's screwing into the jacks footplate the thickness could be increased if the objective is the increase the overall height.

I think that the 15mm thickness of the larger diameter section may be worth checking because when used at the front offside there is a risk that the part of the jack that the adaptor fits into may come into contact with the fuel tank tray. Depends on the design of your jack.
So I had a reply from the chap that manufactures these in the other thread.
To make a bespoke one to fit he wants £20+vat delivered. Before I go ahead, I want to double the measurements here are correct. Particularly the thread size to mount it to the jack as I don't know how to check this.

I've made some revisions. I've changed the diameter of the foot so it will fit within the foot on the jack to add additional support.
I've increased the depth of the thread.

Any thoughts?

are you talking about the "screw" (according to parts list) that's "8" in this drawing ?

unless it's massively "not to scale" then it is not an M6 bolt..
