Default Place to buy jacking pucks in the GTA (or canada?)

Hey, just wondering if anybody knows where I can get Jacking pucks for a c6 in canada? I'd rather avoid international shipping if possible.

Just ask your fellow members if anybody can loan you a set.

Canadian Tire.... sports section..... Maple Leaf logo........ under $4 bucks

I have used a hockey puck successfully on my '01, C6Z06, C5 full track car with body kit, and now on my C7 Z51 with Z06 side skirts...

Never had an issue fits well. my jack is a basic low profile jack with a disc shaped lift point.

I have seen pictures of guys drilling a hole in the middle of the hockey puck and adding an eye-bolt to secure it in place during jacking.
Cheap, easy, safe, and all Canadian.......

Just bought some from Canadian Tire last week, official weight and size but without the embarrassing and costly Leafs Logo for $0.99 each. Perfect fit. Can be modified with eye bolts to lock in if that is what you want.

Surprised there isn't anyone doing that up here and then charging $20 or $30 a set.

Just like Jay Leno says "you can fix a Corvette with a hammer" - our cars are not so exotic that a hockey puck wouldn't work - but I would look around for Black Hawk versions.....

LOL.

Thanks for the offer Murray but I already have a unbranded homemade set.

And you don't owe me for anything that I know of.

Rick nailed it... BMW has a puck that snaps in place so it's always there in case you need to lift. Light weight and cheap. Had them on my previous Vettes and were great as it was Manny who put me on to them.
