Yes that is my website.

The jacks were bought in Holland in the 80s. But they would be easy to make on a lathe. I think the front was 10cm and the rear was 5cm. the front was solid steel with a thread and o ring cut to work like the original top bolt. The rear was maybe aluminium cut to copy the lower side of the shock top, ie an area for the spring and the thread for the rod. The top of it was cut so that the shock top would screw back on with a short stud.

I sold these bikes over 15 years back so we are relying on my memory so I hope this is helpful info.
