Punisher Bass
He who drives a Buick
This isn't really a fix so much as it's a solution to a problem.
I bought my first floor jack last week, but the lift pad is a cup design with four little notches around the lip, since the jacking point for my Buick is a pinch weld, I can't use it as is without causing damage.
So the first thing I tried was making this out of some scrap wood and spend some time shaping it with my dremel.
It worked, but my gut told me to build something stronger. So today I took some of the leftover electrical conduit from the Lawnboy repair, used an old railroad spike and hammer to form it into something of a V shape, and then I made four notches on the underside so it could sit in the cup and not rock back and forth. So far it's working like a charm.
