Default Jacking Pucks

Just finished making my jacking pucks. I used the heavy (10 oz) training pucks. Found them at Play it Again Sports for $2.50 each. Going to lift my C5 for the first time today. Wish me luck.

Looks great. You might have to back the eye screws off a little to have them lock into the jacking points.

Nice work on the pucks. Sure beats paying a ton for them.

What size eye bolts did you use, and are the pucks doubled up? Great solution at a budget price.

1/4"x3" Yes they are doubled using Plumber's Epoxy Putty. I don't like the putty. Might try Liquid Nails if there's ever a next time. The car is jacked up right now. I'll post a pic later on.
