MG MGA - King Dick Jack Handle

Hello.
Could anybody tell me correct sizes (length, size of the drive end) of the original King Dick jack handles. I have purchased B1077 King Dick jack without handle on eBay few days ago but didn’t receive it yet. I have found a handle but don’t know whether it’s correct or not.
Thanks, Nikolai

Nikolai, Steve Giles is your man on jacks. I'm sure he'll come up on this thread. He will surely help you out. A little patience is all you need. I too have a similar jack (not king dick) but no handle to go with it.

Jack handles are not one of my strengths, especially non-Shelley.

Barney has a picture of the King Dick assembly: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/tools/tf130.htm

If he has a set of handles may be he can give you the specifications.

Nikolai,
I have the King Dick Jack and the long part of the handle. If my bar is correct it is about 42 inches long, in two parts each just under 21inches and with a 2 1/4 inch sleeve to join the two parts. There is a push-in ball to hold them together. Both outer ends are 3/4 inch, the one taking the tommy bar has a 3/8 inch hole (oval through use!) My tommy bar is missing. I hope this helps.

I have no screw jack parts here. I sold all of my original MGA tools many years. Specifically I am happy to never touch a screw hack again, but I understand those who want originality in the car.

Shane & everybody thank you for help.

Sorry Steve, I read a few threads on jacks originated by your goodself, and thought you might be the person with the right knowledge to help Nikolai. My apologies for that and also for mispelling your name.
