Also thanks to this thread, I contacted Steve & Mary with regards to sourcing jacking pads for my V12VS.
As mentioned a few times here, they were very helpful in confirming the type I needed. Sent a quick pic and confirmation that I needed AM4v2.
Pads arrived yesterday, they look great and fit a treat.
They came with a small o-ring on the spigot which hold the pad in place, allowing the trolley jack to be placed before jacking.

I had considered buying hockey pucks and just cutting the shape myself, but these are miles better than I could have come up with.

Highly recommended

Just wondering if anyone has had experience using these regularly and how well they are holding up? I haven't used them that much, say 5 or so times and they are holding up well, no cracks etc..

I use an SGS 2.5 ton low entry. This works well but it is heavy and probably a bit of an overkill if you just want to take a wheel off.

That would be even better if we could see them properly.

These are the exact ones I bought . There are locating holes in the car and locating lugs on the expensive pucks , but they are unnecessary if you are doing the job right ! And if your not I would be surprised if they would save you

Doesn’t matter what they say they are made for , if they work they work . These pads were passed on to me by another vantage owner off of this forum and have saved me a fortune .

Will this work with a 2011 N420 Vantage?

Mines a 09 plate , there are four holes in the underneath with rubber grommets in , these are the jacking points with clearance around them in the skirts . Near the front point there is a further cut out slightly to the rear of it , if you look in the photos this is where I jacked the car up leaving the two areas clear for the axle stands . Frightening when you first do it but it works perfectly and leaves no marks or damage at all .

So you spend loads of money on your pride and joy then skimp on jacking it up correctly.

Cannot see the logic in that if you get it wrong it will cost you.

The Rubber pads are self hold and have locating pegs. So you put them in first then use your trolley jack to jack up to them. Making it much easier to see and use on such a low car.

Or you could guess with the BMW ones and hope for the best. I know which ones I am going to use!
