Where is here ? I've seen hockey pucks for sale on eBay in sporting goods. Is there a major sporting goods store near you ? Even if they don't stock them because you are down south, they may be able to order them for you.
I bought a set a few months ago on ebay. Reasonably priced, nice quality. Before I had the pucks, I purchased new tires and the shop used a piece of 2" by 4" wood when jacking the car.
After I got the pucks, I went to another shop and purchased some wheels. Again, they pulled out some pieces of wood. I handed them the pucks and requested they use those. The shop (a large chain) employees never saw lifting pucks before and used mine. They worked great.

I might check with the Dick's near here. Other than that, hockey just isn't that popular here in SW Ohio. ( Besides Miami of Ohio's hockey team........

The eyebolt fits inside the hole and you turn it to "lock" it in place. When you are finishing lifting the car, simply turn them to "unlock" and store in the trunk for another time. The puck is a standard sized puck that then rests against the bottom of the rocker panel.
I was originally going to make them myself, however, after checking with several sporting goods stores and skate rinks in the Sacramento area, I couldn't get ahold of any pucks. After all the running around and time to locate materials and build these (which don't look like much of a challenge to build), it's more time/cost effective just to order a set from ebay (IMHO).

Yep, same here. I checked around today and I couldn't find any in the local sporting goods stores. When I asked the people said, "hockey what?" So, I guess I'll have to get some from ebay too. Thanks.
On the website is says "includes Z06/ZR1". Is there a different size for the Z? Or are these just a universal fit? I bought some pucks off of ebay claiming to fit the Z06/ZR1 and ended having too much space between the top of the puck and the frame of the car.
