Jacking Pucks

Not sure if this has been covered here before so I thought I'd share. The Corvette guys use "jacking pucks" when lifting their cars, especially with a floor jack. If you're not careful, the tabs on the jack may rest on the rocker panel and with a frame / fiberglass body combo, the end result is not good for the rocker panel.

I had a couple leftover and used them on the 991 and they worked as if they were made for it. The tab on top of the puck goes into the slot in the frame. Any similar shaped object would work, including an actual hockey puck.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check and see if the pucks I had for our C6 will work.
