I don't know, I just posted the photos, Paul built it. I can look back at his original post.

"If you have a sissors jack (and who doesn't) buy a 4.5" plastic disposal pipe joint (ABS perhaps) for about $4 at any hardware store. The starter is 4.5" diameter as is the ID of the joint you purchase. It has a raised rib inside soas the pipes it joins are centered. Remove this rib with your dremmel or equivalent tool, then cut a minor section from the pipe joint. More than half but less than 3/4 (see pic). Fasten the 60% part (tossing the 40% part) to the top of the jack. I drilled and tapped for 6-32 screws. The starter will snap into the holder atop the jack. When done you can remove the screws and easily store the pipe section."
