I restored a blackhawk s4 floorjack and found that the lens for the light is not available. I made high quality polycarbonate replica from pictures that I found. I hope selling some components will help pay for my project. I'm asking $45 each plus shipping. I am selling only the lens, I put a...

Here are some of the extra parts I have. Theres a battery pack that fits in the handle, a switch from a flashlight, an adapter sleeve for the switch to the handle, a socket that holds the LED where the lamp was, and a lexan lens. All you would need is some wire and solder to make it work. I had...

The jack had the handle but was missing the switch and battery holder, and it had the cover on the pump with no lense or light. I'm a machinist and I made all the parts that were missing. Its not original but it works.

JoCoSawdust and Don Long Thanks for the comments! As far as the parts go I bought the Led from the auto parts store,and I used a switch off a flashlight. Everything else I made to fit, I dont know what the original parts looked like so I did what I could to make it look nice and fit well. The...

This is my first time posting a project on here. I wanted to show the Blackhawk S4 restoration in progress. I'm trying to make a functional jack that I'm not afraid to use but still do a nice job with the restoration. Now I am focusing on the light that is on it. It was missing most of the parts...
