jacking pucks

[MAD IN NC]

Thanks everyone for your assistance (I started the thread).
I made my rear pucks so they could be held in place, making
it a little easier with a car lift. They slide up into the oval
hole (double D), turn 90 degrees and then stay in place.
This won't work for the front as those holes are round,
I may try a ball-spring detent for those.
I used the dimenisions from previous posts with my top diameter
being .900, with flats & smaller diameter being .700, smaller diameter
being .250 wide.

Like the thought and process here Larry being as I see it;
#1 - First attach puck to car,
then...............
#2 - place jack on puck!

This option has allowed the jack points to be spread over a larger net area which can be more forgiving than trying to place the small peg in the hole while on jack [heard that's F***ks problem:rofl]

Can you cut the crown off the jack pad to facilitate easier jack or lift arm placement?


Indy - thoughts?

Nice idea Larry. Can you mass produce? The problem I've run across - drive car up onto lift, move hydraulic center/sliding jacks into proper location, and my AnalogDesigner pucks just barely fit between jack and frame. Don't make them too thick.

I'm just a garage tinkerer, I have no ability to mass produce (I am really slow).
maybe this guy could help? http://www.imagineering-web.com/car accessories.htm
