I made this from a rubber mallet. Ok, it's heath robinson, bit it works.

The puck which fits in the jack cup is cut using a 45mm hole saw, it's trial and error, then using a good wood saw, i cut around to show the puck. Top is than cut flush near handle. I tried using a reciprocating saw, and it was hard, so it's a good ole fashioned wood saw I'm afraid. Now all we need is someone with a moulding process and we're rich I tells ya :lol: Image

Gotta be better than having your underneath scrached or damaged with the metal cup on your trolley jack or a peice of hard wood!
