Jacking points aluminum hockey pucks fpr a c5

[New C5er]

Hi can some one tell me where I can order those hockey puck metal jacking supports for my c5. Would like to get them real soon as out here it will be rainy season soon and time to change oil and hibernate the car. As I live in a small town the local garage will change the oil for me without putting it on the hoist as I'm leery of that cause it's a roadster, and keep hearing of twisting bodies on hoists. The car is only two miles away, so car won't be even warm by the time I get it home. Thanks in advance. Also thanks for all the other help and comments so far. This is a vette comunnity that seems to stick together and care about each no matter how far away.
Al.........

Go here, they're a sponsor for the site. The C5 and C6 are the same. If you catch them at the right time it's free shipping to Canada.

Jacking pucks...

Thanks Steamer. Just to let you and anyone else know that I might be on this thread asking a lot of ""is this or that" the best part to get for my vette questions.

The other choice you have is to use regular hockey pucks !!

The hard rubber easily takes the weight, and the pucks are sure readily available !

Just a thought.

Tony, welland

Re Hockey pucks..

Thanks to all......... Two bucks for four pucks is sure cheaper than $70 for the engineered type. Now to find my half inch drill bit.....

Hey We're CANADIAN How could you use anything but our National Vulcanized Rubber symbol of freedom?
Don't buy those overpriced American or Chinese items.

Thanks for the shout out Mark. My brother-inlaw owns Lindsay Rubber Products who make pucks in at his factory in St. Catharines. Look for the 'Made in Canada' on the side of the puck ... I'm sure he'll be most thankful.

Brother-in-law

Get the brother-in-law into production on these lifting pucks. I think guys are selling them with nothing more than an eye bolt through the middle to go up in the slot in the frame and quarter turn to stay there. If I look hard enough, there may even be a few old pucks still around the house from when our kids were still at home. HMMMMMM.

I recently changed the wheels and tires on my Y2K Roadster, and I jacked it up and took to my tires shop.. I found it interesting, that the car actually lifted off the front safety stands, as I jacked the right side NO BODY FLEX lol lol lol

If there's anyone that can attest to the stiffness of a c5 rag, it would be Manny. He's running a significant upgrade over stock (is significant the right word?LOL).
