This model fits C5-C8 based on the video title towards the bottom of the page. They're also plastic so in case you go over an obstacle that they catch or snag onto, they should sacrificially shear off instead of ripping chunks of rocker panel off with it.
Are those installed and left on the chassis or placed on each use? Please explain how they work. Thank you.
Yes, you can install and leave them on or easily remove them anytime...I've had to use them many times lifting my C8 and they fit into the jack cups perfectly...I've also had them on my C8 for 7 months now since purchasing my C8 and they're still holding tight...

The puck from Paragon has one screw. The one you use has two. Does the chassis accommodate the two screws? Thank you.

Yup...As I said many of us are using this exact puck with 2 screws and no issues...But you can also purchase from Paragon if you wish to overpay for a simple lift puck!

Paragon was the first puck I looked at when I searched, I was just trying to help. But I much rather rely on someone who knows what he is doing.
There was a time I did my own tune ups (points and condensers included), and minor repairs (starters, belts, ect) on a '65 Barracuda and a '68 Stingray. Unfortunately I got away from doing my own mechanics and simply time has past me by. I am looking forward to getting a C8 and enjoy it a little bit more than just driving it. I don't mean to be a pain and I am grateful lots of members here such as yourself take the time to help others in need. I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me thus far.

No worries and glad to help!
You'll find with respect to this specific topic that there are literally dozens of threads that have been created with lengthy discussions justifying reasons why a specific puck someone uses is the best option (for them)...
All I can say is that the ones that I chose work best for me!
Hey good luck and I'm sure your eager to get your C8...I waited 9 long months for mine, but during that time I gathered up quite a bit of info from others using the invaluable forum search feature we have here and as a result had most of the parts already in my garage before my C8 arrived!

I am following your footsteps and suggestions.
A hydraulic jack, race ramps, splash guards, and now the pucks have been ordered and expected next week.
Yes, C6,C7,C8 can all use the same pucks.
I find no good reason to leave jacking pucks installed, since it requires very little time and effort to install them as needed. Though rare, they can and have become dislodged. I know of two examples (one for a C7 and one for a C8) where this has happened damaging rocker panels. With all the uncontrollable risk of damaging your C8, why create another when you don't have to?
I keep these in my frunk.
