Jacking pucks

Make your own jacking pucks out of hockey puck and 1 inch round 2 inch long eyehole screw I heated the eye hook and made it oval screwed hook into center of puck fits in frame turn 90 degree's stays in works great on a lift. Made them for about $ 10.00 sorry no pics no dig camera

I use solid aluminum ones, I don't like how the hockey pucks flex.

I don't use them at all. The disc on the jack I use fit's perfectly into the jacking spot....$18 at Wal-Mart....works GREAT! :cheers: :thumbs:

The double decker ones are less likely to flex. There's a good article here on how to make them: http://97vette.com/howto/liftpads/index.html

Re: Jacking pucks (wallstAL)

I have the hockey pucks that I use for various jobs, but I carry the aluminum ones in the car. My feeling is that if you need service on the road, a shop won't use the hockey pucks but will use the aluminum ones. It is also very likely they won't have either so you need to carry your own IMO. :thumbs:
