Jacking pads

Just finished putting on my new pucks on the car. The job was real simple once I had all of the parts. Got the hockey pucks at "play it again sports" for $2 plus tax. Four 3/8 hex head bolts were .80. I made the nuts myself. also I have a lathe so I drilled and counter bored the pucks on the lathe. So I have less than $10 in them if I don't count all the running around I had to do. Even at that it was fun doing it myself...........jake

I used eye-bolts and counter bored for the nuts.

Sounds like a great idea....I am on the fence getting pucks and havent figured out if the bolt or T portion has to fit in the frame or onto the jack...Sorry ahead of time for a stupid question, but ...

I take it the bolt/T portion is to keep it from slipping off the car then, right? Thanks

You said you "put them on the car" ...........I hope you don't leave them on. Put them in a baggie and drop them in a cubby, that way you won't lose one as you're driving.
