Jack Pad

[Toyoda]

I've got a basic 2 tonne trolley jack from Lidl and am looking for a jacking pad/saddle/sill adapter for it. I know these little jacks aren't the last word in safety (be it Draper, Halfords or Lidl) but it's just to enable me to swap to winter wheels when the time comes so it won't be getting much use.

What I'm after is a rubber jack pad for the sills but from what I've seen, these are for the bigger more standard sized jacks, whereas mine just has the small lifting point/cup. Does anyone know where I can get a smaller rubber jack pad with the slit? Or has anyone bought one they would/wouldn't recommend?

Me too, something similar to this but not from this seller. Think it was actually a machined hockey puck.

I think the problem is that this is too big for one of these mini jacks. The lifting cup is a pretty small thing.

As for the piece of wood, I want to jack it up on the sill, so would need something grooved.

Your posts appear to indicate a lack of practicality on your part. Are you sure you should be changing your own wheels?

Don't have the time to be whittling pieces of wood. Just want to buy the right part for the job. I'll probably just get the ebay thing and trim it down if need be.
