I remember seeing these in a summit tool catalog but summit doesn't carry them any more. These would be a little more secure for those that want to put a stand under the rotor. With a little skill you could make something similar in a home garage pretty easy.

HECK...as inexpensive as these are....I might just get them from them. I was planning on making some...but I doubt I can make them that cheap.

ONE THING.....ALWAYS PLACE JACK STANDS ON CONCRETE FLOOR, NOT ASSFAULT DRIVEWAYS!!!!!!

I did not get injured, but bent hell outta a bunch of front end parts when the stands dug into the ASSfault driveway, and the front end went sideways,
