I'm not cheap I just need them to work on my car this weekend. I didn't realize I couldn't fit the car on the lift until just now and had a bunch of suspension work planned. I have a set on order but they won't get here in time for me to complete the job before the work week sets in.

I will gladly buy you a case of beer or bottle of hard stuff to compensate.

Thanks,
Matt

I never use them. I just jack the car up in the middle of the frame rail right smack in the middle, under the door.

Hey Gary,

That would work to get the lift arms underneath the car, but the lift at the auto repair shop on base is less than ideal for Corvettes. They have large metal cups designed to cradle the frame rails of standard vehicles and would break or crack the body panels where they wrap under the rails. So basically I need the jacking pucks to act as a pad between the lift arm and the frame.

I actually found a place that sells hockey pucks in San Diego so I should be set now.

I went the low buck route on the suspension stuff, but that hi end setup you have available is a goal for next year.

Thanks,
Matt

You can find hockey pucks at any sports store. They defintely have them in san diego

And yes they work great!

You can even go to home depot and get an eye bolt and sink it in the middle of the hockey puck and it will stick up through the slot in the frame rail to hold the puck to the frame.

Always have them in my tool bag, but it is possible to safely lift the car without them if you're careful.

Almost any sporting goods store sells them even here in the SE where "hockey" is something associated with horses and found in a barn.

I use the plugs that a holesaw leaves as I cut 2.5" holes in 2x4's for plumbing my house.

Really cheap I know But I've got a bunch of them.

Also you can drive your car up on some 2Xs that will give you enough height to get a jack under the it

I live in Myrtle Beach and we don't play much hockey either.
