$50 a set
I don't think so. Are you considering a lightweight set, Ken?

I bought an extra Pcar alu jack thinking some day I would find someone to fabricate the insert onto my floor jack with the nice hinge thingy. This would really simply things. If there is a list, put me on it.

I haven't said anywhere in this thread that I'd be making any for anyone else*. ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I don't want any bolt on parts, so there has to be left and right in a set.
$250 was the guessed powder coating price for when painting 10 at a time.
Aluminum will require a lot more overhead, and a bit of reengineering**.
I'm going to to make (myself) steel versions, spray painted black. Knowing what it costs to make a set like that, if I saw them for sale somewhere, I would be happy to buy a set for under $200***.

***Aluminum would be roughly double that.

I have a problem with bodywork extending out and down, so my effective ride height is too low to takle advantage of bar like this. In fact I would consider myself lucky if I can reach for the jack points with the jack alone. It's a problem on all my cars, except the convertible

I hope to verify the dimensions on the S4> version this weekend.
Next I'm going to try downsizing the pipe to 1.5", and see if it is still sturdy enough. It would be nice if I could get the weight down to <20lbs each side, in steel.

A couple more days in the shop... ![order](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/order.gif)
![](https://members.rennlist.com/porken/OneJackBarV2.jpg)
18lbs each
I reduced the pipe size to 1.5", but thicker wall (sch. 80). I bought a pipe bender and bent the pipe to fit around the floor. The smaller pipe deflects more than the 2", so I made a reverse bend to compensate.
The smaller pipe put too much force into the middle of the car, so the anti-roll bar is gone. In it's place is smaller devices forward and back. The rear pin is gone, replaced by a short piece of pipe which fits in between the weld seam and the seat belt bolt. (This also means I don't have to deal with the jack hole tolerance problem!)
Now I have to revise the S4> version...

Seems to be the real deal - easy up and down. I went around the car, and tried to push it off(!), and it remained steady.

...
Joe,
I might have a S4> bar to test ready today. I just need to know how wide the rear jack point is? It's like 2"x4" or so?

Went to Joe's and did a quick fitting. The S4> version looks like it can be used on either side*, yay!
If I was to take my GT (ha!) to the track, I could bring just one bar for changing the tires; one side at a time.

Haha....
Thanks,..It'll really come in handy this April at the Track Attack...
I don't think you'll have too much trouble getting a couple of S4 owners to split the cost of a set..given the number of S4's in the pacnw...
Regarding the dinner..Yep..I knew it wasn't your deal...but consider you one of the sopacnwchap928ers...ie portland OR area owners haha......
I think it's planned for a Saturday in the next couple of weeks....(anyone in the area and not on PacNW 928 is welcome too I'm sure)...
