Thanks Trevor! It's short piece of 1/4 steel rod welded onto the top jaw. This I had done by our shop teacher as I don't weld. I had to curve the 1/4" rod with a flat file as obviously I'm beading round pipe. I then used a pneumatic grinder and roughed out the cup in the bottom jaw and finished with a rat tail file. It's far from perfect but seems to work great.
