hmm...just out of curiosity, why do you need the eye bolt? Seems like if you position the jack and the hockey puck correctly the eye bolt is unnecessary...unless it is intended to stabilize the puck from sliding around.

Thanks, I've got a set of the jacking pucks and I get how the positioning works, I was just curious if they were absolutely necessary or if you could just be careful in your positioning. Probably better safe than sorry anyways.

If you do it right you put it in and make a 90 degree turn to hold it there

I made my own jacking pads using 4 hockey pucks and 4- 2 5/8" Lag eye screws. Drill a 1/8th" hole in the center of the puck to make screwing the eye bolt a little easier. Screw the eye bolt down until the "eye" portion just touches the top of the puck. There will be about 2 to 3 threads of the eye bolt protruding through the bottom of the puck. I ground that down on a bench grinder. The eye bolt will fit into the slot of the frame and if you didn't screw it down too far you can actually turn and "Lock" the puck into place in the frame slot.
Total cost...around 7 bucks and it works great !
