Hockey pucks work, but I think that this will out last a hockey puck because it has more material once the puck is channeled out.

YMMV

Can you post up a pic of the backside of it, and sitting in your jack? I have a craftsman LP jack thats of similar design, and if it looks good, I'll order one right now. :tup:

+1 for the hockeypucks. I have 2 taped together to jack it up by the pinch rail. Then gwt a jackstand under the frame.

I have 4 chunks of 3/4 plywood to drive on to to get my hoist under the car, then pucks on the hoist feet to clear the skirts, lol what a ordeal. lol

I kept the 1006 for my low profile Harbor Freight Jack. It's a little larger than the cup, but as previously mentioned, once it's under way there is no sliding around. It has the flat bottom unlike the Smaller cupped 1007 which is designed to fit over the jack cup of smaller jack bases :ninja3:

What I do to avoid the sliding is place the adapter into the pinch weld & then bring the jack into it. That jack will bit into the adapter & the pinch weld keeps it from popping out. Plus it gives you enough clearance to get under the car ;)

I wonder what the difference is, if you could trim it down so it Does fit in your jack?

Hmm, that's not eh HF model mine resembles... Mine looks like this:

Yes you could trim it down as it is only polymer. This is the jack that I have. You can also take the cup off this jack & drill the center out of the lifting pad little & it will sit lower on the jack without any sliding trouble. http://www.harborfreight.com/media/c...mage_12170.jpg
