Kevin,

I made one out of  Aluminium flat plate and angle welded together, the flat 
plate has 4 holes that fit tight over the heads of the 4 bolts on the front 
face of the swing arm, the angle is welded to the flat plate so one face is 
parallel to the ground to which is welded a small stud to centre and stop 
the jack from slipping off. This arrangement will accommodate any scissor 
jack that all cars now carry. The only thing you need to source locally  if 
away from your home field is the jack and blocks of wood to sit the jack on 
and the outriggers.
