Re: Jack Pad (Alloy)

Unless you can find a low down Jack somewhere, this pad will not be suitable.

Re: Jack Pad (Alloy)

That's a good price for that style!

I was thinking of taking the front wheels off my trolley jack to see if that worked.

Re: Jack Pad (Alloy)

You know Ralph Boothe at BoothDesign.Com has one that fits into that notch too but is also rubber coated so it doesn't mark up the car or the jack and it is lower profile. You might check it out as an alternative Boothe Designs, Porsche parts and accessories, No-Turn Technology

Thanks K-Man S -

But Postage/Shipping is Prohibitive to the UK - (Not to Mention the Additional Importation Taxes, Value Added Tax and Customs Clearance Charges.....) Which Makes the Cost Enormous.....

I Agree the 'BoothDesign' Item is Super....

But for the UK users - Just Pointed to a 'Reasonable' Alternative.........

Re: Jack Pad (Alloy)

Understood, just pointing it out in case someone is of the mindset that cost is no object. You know you might call Ralph (or email) and see if he has a UK distributor, maybe Tess could get set up as a UK distributor and lower the cost of his items in the UK?
