Fishcop Posted 20February, 2021 Report Share Posted 20February, 2021 Anyone know if there is a local supplier of the Porsche specific jack pads/pucks that fit the modern Porsche lifting points (like the Powerflex PF57-560) https://flat6motorsports.com/products/powerflex-polyurethane-jack-pad-adapter I'm just looking to be able to jack my 996 up without doing any underbody damage...

Fishcop Posted 20February, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2021 Or do I just order some hockey pucks (pack of 5 for $30)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 20February, 2021 Report Share Posted 20February, 2021 John, Quite a selection on eBay: porsche jacking pad | eBay I've got an aluminium one that I rarely use. I normally just use a strip of kitchen flooring vinyl I've rolled and taped into a puck shape. Have also used a wad of newspaper on occasions too. Sorry, I'm just not that fancy!

Yeah I saw those - but everything is overseas based. Just thought there might have been a local supplier. Rubber hockey pucks are cheap and easy - I'll probably go with them.

Fishcop Posted 20February, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 20February, 2021 Unfortunately Clark Rubber went tits up here a couple of years ago - it was my go to for all this stuff. The 996 jack points are slightly recessed below the side skirt profile and my floor jack's plate diameter doesn't safely clear. A vulcanised rubber hockey puck is 3"x1" (giving me the tiny bit of clearance I need) and only $3.75 when bought as pack of 5 - I reckon that's what I'll do. I just wondered if anyone else had taken the fancy route LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just the floor jack I can take my time - though having that locating lug makes life a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 21February, 2021 Report Share Posted 21February, 2021 Yes I went the ebay purchase hard rubber with locating lug $20.00 each landed in oz work well. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/274305987819 Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
