I had contemplated welding on flat tops and using a hockey puck on top as suggested on the www, but I don't think that is ideal either.

Now that is the best use for MDF I think I have ever seen :worship:
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Never been 100% happy with my machine mart axle stands on the 996 - the top \_/ is slightly narrower than the jacking points.
Esco flat top stands look perfect but cannot find them in the UK.
Any suggestions for alternatives? Vigor look similar but not quite the same?

PS apologies if done to death before!!
I have this issue too. Luckily I get to the US a few times a year with work and have looked over there too. The problem is that anything I have seen with a decent flat top are very expensive. I had contemplated welding on flat tops and using a hockey puck on top as suggested on the www, but I don't think that is ideal either.
Until I have money that I don't need to spend on car parts, i'm Sticking with my Halfords stands.
Not sure if this helps, so just letting you know you are not alone!
Currently pondering welding some 10mm thick X 75mm dia mild steel discs onto some stands with some thick rubber bonded on top.
Esco seem illusive in the UK!!

There was someone on here that did the pucks moulded to slot into the jacking points. They are super handy.
Just remember to take them out when your finished.
Nice job. I had looked at the off the shelf versions but couldn't justify the cost. Must find a mate that can fabricate - unless someone in here wants to offer their services and do a bulk buy/ production...
Now that is the best use for MDF I think I have ever seen :worship:
You don't have a note of the dimensions do you?
Might be a trip to B&Q for me this weekend
