Today I finally did something I have been meaning to do for years, and
that is make an adapter for my JackAll so that it will fit the jack
points on the Vanagon.

The lifting "tongue" on the JackAll is no long enough to fit under the
van without the vertical portion of the jack rubbing against the body
(it just works on a loaf however).

So I made an adapter similar to what later model Landrover owners have.
Its just a 4" long bit of box section (2" X 3", 1/8" wall) steel upon
which I welded the male part of the stock bilstein jack (the part that
goes into the jack point on the van, I used the entire length, cut
right at the screw). A 3/8" hole was drilled though the box section to
match up with the hole under the flat portion of the JackAll lifting
"tongue".

The box section slips over the JackAll "tongue" and a 3/8" stainless
bolt (with nylock nut) secures it.

It works like a charm.
