Did you ever find this part? I've been looking for one of these for a while now. I saw one in the Ames catalog, it says for 68 and up. Do you know if this would work?

Ask AMES what the dimension of the repop piece is. I was looking for one for my '71 jack too and the 1-1/4 x 1/4 was the same measurements I had. Also, the attaching piece at the bottom from my '71 looks the same as the one pictured above. I think I had seen this in the AMES catalog too but thought they were asking $18 for it. Seems like a lot for a small piece of rubber.

I broke down and ordered it from Ames. I ordered a few other things as well, so $18 didn't seem so bad in the context of the overall bill (psychology is a wonderful thing). I'll post some photos of it and measurements when it comes in.

I just received the part from Ames. The pad is 1 1/4" diameter, 1/4" thick, and the "nub" is 1/2" inch long. It looks like the piece in dlarkins' photo above. $18 is a lot of money for this little piece of rubber, but it looks a heck of a lot better than the piece of tennis ball that was duct taped on to the jack.

The piece fit my jack, which I believe is from a 67, perfectly. Although, given that the Ames description said 68 and up, I'm wondering now if I have the correct jack. It's the silver keystone shaped shaft with square base.
