Default Jacking Pucks

When I traded in my '09 Z06, I kept pretty much all the goodies I had put on and acquired for it. One of the things I kept was the set of jacking pucks. My question is: Will these work for the Stingray? They appear to fit the same on the Stingray as they did on the Z06, and are virtually identical--even to Elite Engineering's part number being the same (with an SR thrown in for the Stingray). JPZ06 for the Z06, and JPZ06-SR for the Stingray.

I'd hate to spend $65 if I would only be getting something I already have.

Get the plastic clip in's and leave them in round 2 1/2 inch and 1/2 inch thick.

Forget the metal ones!

I heard they didn't because the T section of the puck is too long to fit in the slots of the C7's rails.

Haven't yet had a reason to check that for myself.. guess I should as I have some C6 pucks leftover myself...

I've heard that the C6 pucks don't fit well on the C7, but I didn't try (left them on the C6 when I sold it.) I wound up buying ones for the C7 and they fit very tight compared to the ones on my C6, they required a LOT of pressure to seat them. But AFAIK they could be exactly the same pucks, I bought them from the same company.

The C6 pucks aren't the same size as the C6 Z06 pucks, which are the ones I'm specifically asking about. The Z06 pucks do seem to fit (and feel) the same on the two generations, which is somewhat loose.

My C6 (reg) ones will fit in the slot, but are rather tight (the top of the "T" portion is thicker). They seem too tight to give the wiggle room necessary, so I wouldn't want to use those.

Just purchased Katech 2 ½ inch diameter X 2 inch high jack pads when I installed my side skirts. Interestingly they fit 3 of the 4 "shipping slots” fine but the front left was very tight! I was concerned about getting it out! After fiddling I finally did. Took a file and removed ~1/16 inches from all sides of the top Tee. It works fine in all slots. Emailed Katech who said they had a similar problem with one slot! They thought perhaps the blank was not removed when the slot was stamped. It appears the slots are not uniform. As long as the diameter does not hit the plastic rocker panel when the pucks are inserted the C6 pucks may work fine. I would test but if buying new check to see they are not bigger than 2 ½ inches diameter. 1 inch high is fine if not going to install side skirts.
