Jacking Points

[Moviestar]

Hi Guys
Are these the jacking points on the corvette?

Yes. You need a jacking puck or be very careful with a small jack head or block of wood. BMW used to sell pucks that fitted.

Great thanks for the quick response I'll take a look on Ebay and see what I can find.

Much appreciated.

There is some solid frame accessible at the front for a stand (c5) also, but be careful. The floor is definably not strong enough. You can also jack on the aluminium suspension mounting cross bars but if you do make sure you have a big bit of wood to spread the load over the front and rear ribs and a decent width rather than point load it and make sure your not getting the leaf spring by mistake.

This looks the same as the ones i have, but something deeper would be better as they are still to short with the dish of my jack so need a bit of wood in the cup also but it works.

I usually jack up my C5 by using these each side on the front and place a stand on the accessible frame at the front, then go in from the rear with a big block of wood on the cross-member to lift both rear wheels at the same time and place stands at these rear jack points.

Ok thanks for the link.

I have found these. They look as if they are what is needed.

Go to www.cccuk.org.uk and ask the same question.
I believe the BMW ones are better and cheaper than those.
Rich Rogers has the part number for them as well.

Some people make their own, using hockey pucks. Maybe what the ones above are?

BMW ones are cheap as chips and work well.

Some Corvette owners buy four of them and leave permanently installed. They go in quite tight.

I've forgotten to remove them a few times and never lost one. Need a screwdriver to get them out to be honest.
