They're easy to make if you have a mill, Joe. I've never purchased soft

I'm assuming you mean welding them up. I got to mention that to our
engineers. I have a
feeling we just make new ones.

Yes, by welding, Wes. I've done that on many occasions. The only concern is
getting them similar in weight and orientation so they remain balanced.
I'm still using one set of jaws that started life in my shop in 1967!
