Default Jack Adaptor pucks from Flat 6 Motorsports

Arrived today and are better than I was expecting for $ 15.95 apiece. These fit in the holes in your 992 subframe to allow you to jack the car at the proper reinforced point. Thank you, Flat 6 !

I prefer to support vendors that contribute to this forum, I haven’t seen Amazon come on here with tips and reviews for 992s

See if you can return and buy these. They fit snug in the jack pad hole and cost ¼ the price. $18.98 for a set of 4 on Amazon.

I used to use pucks from BMW for my C5 and C6 Corvettes. Are these designed to stay in the frame ?

Thank you for your support! We're a team of Porsche enthusiasts and enjoy crafting solutions. We can't always be competitive with mass Chinese manufacturing on price but we do make these in house. They help support our ability to test/create informative content. Much appreciated!

We designed them to be temporary for jacking instead of stuck in frame. They have a designed geometry where you can give it a 1/2 turn and they will stay in place while you raise the jack. The friction is minimal but just enough to keep them in place so you don't have to guess when trying to coordinate with a floor jack.

If the nipples are not long enough and the pad not thick enough, you might damage the frame or the side skirts while lifting the vehicle
It's not always about supporting the locals, it's sometimes about the product itself as well
Compare the height of the pads too

Tesla ones work fine and are $15 for the entire set.

Ironically, the ones sold as Tesla compatible have a nipple that's too long. I have a set of those that have the o-ring half way up, and i actually had to cut the nipple at the o-ring in order for it to fit properly. These are the ones I have:

Jack pads are great. Waited too long to get them. They make the car easy to lift without damaging the side skirt.

I got the reverse logic ones and they seem fine although the decision to use metal as the contact point for the jack is maybe inconvenient. You have to put something in between.

Will definitely try these if I need to replace.

The 991 design was perfect. It was oval and you could put in the jack pads sold by a guy here. Stick them in, rotate and they didn't fall out. Really too bad they changed it (along with the LCA lights that used to be in the A column and impossible to miss).
