You want one with a centering bolt, too. I have Rennline's. There are several options out there. Just don't use an old hockey puck.

You can have mine. Centering bolt is a PIA. I've gone back to regulation hockey puck, works great. I don't need belts and suspenders.

I have Quick Jacks and they come with rubber blocks that I feel are a bit too soft. I use the Delrin jack pads made by a rennlister and they work great. Just today I bought 12 hockey pucks for $20 and plan on using them as the in between the Quick Jack and the delrin 911 pads.
I wonder how much compressive force a hockey puck can withstand stand. Wish my 20T hydraulic press had a pressure gauge.

I only use "Porsche-Certified" jack pads! You can't get any more convenient than making them in your garage.

This pad has been used on three (3) Porsches and is still solid. I have one for each jacking position.
The centering dowel is made from a 1-inch diameter pine dowel that has been glued to a 1/2-inch thick piece of plywood that has been drilled to accept the dowel. The plywood with dowel are then glued to 2-inch X 2-1/2-inch X 3/4-inch thick piece of poplar.

But you've given me an idea. I just may "clip" the corners to provide and easier interface with jack cradle.
