Jacking Puck Question
With the weekly threads of vette owners getting their rocker panels messed up with improper jacking techniques, I've decided to look for a set. A quick google from this set of 4 for $69.99. Does anyone have experience with this company? I see many places charging $50 for a pair, this seems like a cost effective set. Anyone have a better idea? Thanks in advance!

The company is good there are some out there less expensive, several forum members have made their own from hockey pucks, I purchased mine I believe for $50.00 I think it was from Southern Car Parts.

$50 for 2 :/ Maybe they raised the price? Thanks for the suggestion though.

The cost was under $7.00. You can get them from any sporting goods store, Ie: Sports Chalet. (Thats where I got mine from)
They will work perfect, just as good as the ones talked about in these posts, but most of all you'll be saving around 50 bucks

Also, at $13 a piece, it ends up being $52 for the set. Prices must have gone up since someone said you could get them for $30 total.
pictureman: Do you really use standard hockey pucks for your jacking pucks? What kind of mods do you need to make it attach?

Facade: I was looking at those through the bavauto website. Have you used them both? The attachment peg for the rectangular versus the circular seems to be entirely different...

I use the round BMW pucks - they snap right in and stay in place (there is no peg on the round pucks). I have left them installed since I purchased them and have not had any problems.
I have not used the rectangular ones so I can't comment on those.
It is amazing that in just 3 months, the price of both BMW types have doubled - - we must be giving them a lot of business!
