Jack Stands and the G

Well, I was "messing" around yesterday and thought that I would try and get my G up on Jack Stands. This is in preparation for installing my Exhaust System and Sways. Here's what I came up with...

...don't know if there is any real demand for these !
Also, I haven't tried the "Hockey Puck" method. I don't know if that would work any better but I know these work great !

Well, there's demand for at least one set. How much capacity do you have to build these? I'm sure that if you hooked up with an online vendor, like dave@partsshippers(just an example), then you'd basically have free promotion.

Anyway, how much for a set?

Got the "capacity" to do them but just don't have any spare time. Too many summer projects going on. Just thought I'd post some pics to give others some ideas.

At first I tried looking for something that was "commercially" available.
No Such Luck !!
Then I thought about the "Hockey Puck" method. I thought that if I had to modify a Hockey Puck, I might as well take the time and "machine" something out of aluminum. I was looking for something that would locate precisely at the correct location (stock scissor jack lift point). After some "whittling", what you see is what I came up with.
It is very similar to what is shown in the Service Manual.
PM me if you are interested and maybe ...??
