Default Hockey Pucks?

I was wondering if anybody knows the size of eye bolts to put in home made lifting pucks, I plan on ordering a leave in set later on but, want to get my Z in the air this weekend to pull the wheels off and need a "quick" set to tide me over, any ideas?

You really don't need the eye-bolts if you crawl under to look where the jack aligns. I place my hockey pucks in the "cup" on the jack and eye-ball the alignment so I don't miss.

I use hockey pucks regularly to lift my c5 on my 4 post lift. They work great and a 6 pack is about $12.00

I glued four hockey pucks to the chassis. My floor jack just barely slides under but it fits. Also, in Missouri, we have car inspections once a year, so this way the garages can clearly see where to place the lift arms under the car in order for them to do their inspections.

yeah, with the pucks, the eye bolt is just a nicety for if you want to hang it in there to see where to put the jack or lift arms. if you look under the car to line up the jack, you can just put the puck in when you start lifting

Some of the jacking pucks that the vendors sell are hockey pucks with the eye bolts. If I had known this prior to ordering, I would have never bought them.
