How to make jack pucks?
I searched the archives and couldn't find anything. I know I need 8 hockey pucks and some sort of epoxy and eye screw. Someone fill me in on the specifics! Thanks. :cheers:

Re: How to make jack pucks? (C5Noir)
C5 Noir, check out this site, Pat has some really interesting and helpful stuff... http://www.97vette.com
... but I personally I went ahead and bought 4 pucks from http://www.cau-llc.com/prices.htm
I keep the pucks in the car...last visit to my dealer they put some very small cracks in the rocker panel (not visible unless your flat on your back...but I know they are there). Now I will insist that they use the pucks I purchased.

Re: How to make jack pucks? (C5Noir)
got my pucks (4) at Play it Again . Hard to find here in md. Went to Home Depot and got 4 cabinet *****. They are oval shaped like the whole in the vette. I got several kind since I was not sure exactly what size. The ones I ended up with were just slightly to big to fit so I ground them on my bench grider a little. Then drilled a hole in the center of each puck and installed cablinet ***** with included screws. Total cost $10. Jeff

I'd be happy to make them, but I'm afraid by the time I get my time, gas and expenses into it, I'd have to charge about $100. :lol: :lol: :lol:
You can buy the fancy ones for that.

Four bucks for hockey pucks (Wash. Caps, of course), $1.00 for screws, and four bucks for four cabinet handles. Grind down the sides of the handles and voila' four pucks-$9.00. Buy them off the vendors, voila' four pucks-$85.00+shipping. Took me 1/2 a day to get materials and make 'em. would've taken 3-4 days (maybe) to be processed and shipped to you.

Re: How to make jack pucks? (Mike Siska)
Fella's, I don't have problem putting them together. It's just that hockey pucks are hard to find here, that's why I have requested others to make em' for me or hell I'll just buy 8 pucks from someone on here, lol! :lol:

If I'm near the sporting goods store I'll try to pick some up and send them to you no cost. No promises but I'll try.....
E-mail me your shipping address.

Re: How to make jack pucks? (C5Noir)
C5Noir,
I made mine from 3/4 inch oak. I used a hole saw in my drill press and sawed out 8 disks so I could make 4 pucks. I used a 2 3/8 in hole saw; that's plenty big.
I glued 2 disks together to give me the thickness I wanted. Since the hole saw used a 1/4 inch pilot hole, I used 3/8 diameter eye bolts.
I use the pucks every time I change the oil and they work great. I couldn't locate the hockey pucks either......that's why I chose to go this route.
Good luck.
Mark

Re: How to make jack pucks? (C5Noir)
I used the directions on 97Vette.com ... they work great... if you are worried about the bolts... just buy a few of each size ... then reutrn the others.... as for the hockey pucks... are there no sporting goods stores nearby? if not ... a hardware store may have rubber disks similar to pucks since they seem to have everything...

Re: How to make jack pucks? (NewVetteLover)
A double height hockey puck is a great idea.. I was thinking of wood, but that's much better. I can't think of anything at the hardware store that would be as good.
How tall would the pucks need to be in order to accomodate a dealer lift??
As for you guys down south with no hockey pucks. I'd trade it all for some good BBQ! :lol:
