I have to use pieces of wood that break and split when I use a jack.
Leading evidence: 'Use jack' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

I have 9 of them just at home, I recommend bright colored ones so you don't lose them.

Would probably screw them together to make it a little more "safe" (in as much as using hockey puck spacers on a lift is safe in the first place).

My snap on rubber adapters were too large to use on the 996 unfortunately.
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.

I'm gonna put the Pcar up on a buddy's lift (an hour away) in a couple weeks.
Do you guys with lifts use anything between the lift's (large) lift pads and the car's (small) lift points? I have to use pieces of wood that break and split when I use a jack. I've seen aluminum "pucks" advertised but they're pricey.
How do you guys do it?
I live in San Diego, of what do you speak of with these "hockey pucks"?
Good idea, maybe Big5 has some, and they have to be cheaper than the aluminum ones. Once my garage is built (with lift!) I'll finally start to be able to fabricate my own goodies.
Any other solutions out there?
If you have the time, order them on-line. Last time I checked, Big5 had only team logo pucks at about $5 each. You can find generic ones on-line for like 98 cents. Need to get free shipping to make the deal work tho'
i used to put a puck then stopped as i switch wheels from street to track ones almost every week - it is fine. car will not melt or disintegrate from metal to metal connection.
you need to use something if jack you use is of commercial type and has very wide deep 'bowl' so your mount point is not in touch with jack itself.
Thx! Your response came in JUST as Big 5 picked up the phone. I was like, "I don't want any of those $5 team logo ones though..."
Had I not said that they probably would have just said "yes we have them". That saved me a trip. Thanks for the tip!
That's my concern. I don't care about metal-metal contact, I just want to make sure that all the support is directed to the car's lift pad and not on its frame or surrounding structure.
If the pucks work and are tall enough for the "bowl" in the lift/jack, then I'll be all set.
You can double up a puck if needed. Anytime I talk to a shop and they don't use hockey pucks they thank me later. I have 9 of them just at home, I recommend bright colored ones so you don't lose them.
cool. Was wondering about stacking. Would probably screw them together to make it a little more "safe" (in as much as using hockey puck spacers on a lift is safe in the first place). Would probably bolt them together, recessing the bolt head and nut and let some of the thread poke out the top which would go into the hole in the Pcar lift pad. Sort of like one of those fancy aluminum ones.
I cut off sections off rubber-sandals so they fit to my jack's surface. Contact point will then be car's jack point - rubber - jack.
It's free as they break all the time (the sandals not jack or car's jacking point), and I used to throw them away. Now I used them for all sorts of things, and I have heaps of them.
Thanks folks. Looks like hockey pucks is the way to go. Living in San Diego I had to order them.
PJorgen, thanks for the price tip too. Found them for $0.99 in a few places, no free shipping but did find one place that gets them to me in 2 days for $7.50. I'd pay close to that for a single one at Big5 locally, so it's still worth it. I got 12 just in case I need 3 per side. The few bucks extra it cost will be good insurance. Plus I can play hockey if I wan... no, I won't.
I bought the aluminum "pucks" on ebay. The guy was local so I just met up with him to pick them up. Used them with my scissor lift to an oil change. I cannot remember how much they were, but I dont think they were too expensive. My snap on rubber adapters were too large to use on the 996 unfortunately.
