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.

Yes I did a search on this but not really happy with anything I found. What is everyone using between their jack stands and jacking points so as not to mar the small jack points? The two shapes dont match at all. I was thinking of cutting a slot in the old hockey puck and putting it over the jack stand jaw....but this seems a little mushy and unstable Any thoughts?
Hockey pucks work just fine. They bend, but can take the punishment just fine. I got some fresh ones from the Avalanche. . . turns out they won't be needing them anytime soon! TRawls
Do you just sit the puck on the top of the jack stand?
Hockey pucks for me...I just place them on top of the stands and they work fine. Hopefully the Blackhawks will continue to need theirs, so you'll have to source them elsewhere!
Been waiting for (and called) a Hawks-Pens series before this season even started. Oh Pens in 6. (Pgh'er here) ... and thanks for the clarification
I modified four jackstands just for this reason. I welded about a 3"x3" flat plate to the top, then a 1-1/2" piece of pipe to that. Picture the top of the jackstand as a flat plate with a small piece of pipe sticking up that "plugs" into the jack point. The top of the plate is padded with a piece of rubber conveyor belt material. Safe, stable, and it can't slip. Too bad I don't have anything to put on top of them anymore!
Yes....I was thinking along those lines but don't have acces to a welder...........not sure I want to permanently alter the jack stand either. I am suprised the hockey puck swork that well. I was going to aleast slot them and push them on the jack stand jaws.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
