Rubber Jacking Pads Available
Discussion
Rubber jacking pads AM4 version 1 (rears cut to size by myself, so effectively version 2) in application on my 17MY V8 Vantage S Coupé at the main dealer:
Rear right hand side:
Rear left hand side:
As you can see they did touch the sill cover, but thankfully left no marks at all.
Front jacking pads AM4 version 1 no problems anyway.

Evening all. Purchased a set of the AM4v2 jacking pads a few months ago but only got round to using them today - worked perfectly on my 2016 V12VS Coupe. Now have clean wheel rims, arches and brake bits . Thoroughly recommended.
I also found the pads worked well.
Did your jack fit in place under the pads easily?
I had to first drive the car, to lift the wheel up on to a piece of timber.
Standard height V8V and low lift Sealey jack.
It made me rather concerned about what might happen in the event of a roadside puncture.
A flatbed lift to an AM workshop would seem wise, but whether rescue services would do
that I don't know. ACA - Alloy chassis anxiety.

For reference the jack is a Sealey 2001 LE - works a treat.
Hope that helps.
While I have your attention (and sorry to other readers to stray off-topic), I was wondering if you would message me directly as I can't seem to message you through the PH website. You were kind enough to give me some info on my Grigio Titanio V12VS on 9th May this year based on the research you've done and I'd really like to know a little more about the other cars in this rare colour (including your V8V!). I think you can DM me through PH but if not and if you're happy to make contact let me know on the forum and I'll provide an e-mail address/phone number if that's allowed.... Thanks in advance.

Hello Stuart,
Sorry for my slow reply. Have only just seen your post.
Yes, I am quite happy to contact you. Will send a private message through PH. Please wait a little while, because I am away at present without any Grigio information.
From memory, I think there are now three of the seven (UK) V8V Coupe owners on this forum, one if not two in Scotland.
Hi All,
I only recently acquired my Aston (MY14 DB9) but could somebody explain these jacking pads to me? Are they an essential (i.e. a standard jacking plate will damage the vehicle e.g. sills) or nice to have item? I've done a bit of work on my cars over the years but yet to get under the DB9
