The Rockwell JawStand (see https://piphardware.com/product/rockwell-jawstand/) is a handy piece of gear. Beyond its intended use as a woodworker's sawing support stand, the moderate cost and built-in 90 degree tilt clamp function has made it a favorite for sport rocket launchers and other applications where the full horizontal-to-vertical angle adjustment is crucial.

This simple part is to improve the plastic clamp pads on the original RK9033 JawStand, which are undersized and made of a brittle plastic that doesn't hold up well, especially in outdoor use.  They will eventually deteriorate and shatter - see the photos for what happened to one of mine after several years.

These replacement pads have about 80% more contact area than the originals.  Mount them with M4x8 stainless screws and hex nuts.  You can also re-use the original fasteners, but they are low grade and prone to corrosion.
