Default Jacking point pad for trolley jack?
Hi, does anyone know of a correct shaped jacking pad to fit the XK nicely, ones with a V in them very common, (weld seam pads) but would like to put the weight behind the seam between the two nuts on the back jacking point as in front of the seam bit it plastic side skirt, could make nice fitting one out of hardwood i suppose, but just wondered wot you guys used or is there an off the shelf pad? Thanks in adavance

Hockey puck with a groove. Have a couple of them, think I found them on Amazon.
Use them on all three vehicles of our cars.

Thanks for ideas, i use wood at mo, On rear does seem best to jack behind the seam as plastic sill is in front, and to me a hockey pad would spread the weight front and back ???

I used to use wood but followed the lead of many US members on the forum and started using what they call a 'hockey puck'. Plenty of sizes on ebay UK - seach rubber jacking pad in garage equipment.
