Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
Hockey pucks degrade and break apart after repeated use, any flexing that
may occur will cause the pucks to breakdown. As a short term lift they might
work ok, but if your ever in an accident and they put your car on a hoist to
"inspect" it and see regular hockey pucks you will have questions to answer.
Mike R knows all about having his J**P inspected after an accident.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
In the past I would have agreed with you but with the ongoing NHL lockout I
think it is our duty to support puck manufacturers.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
Maybe it's just me, but aren't those pucks made from rubber for a reason?
The puck you make must be the same diameter as the factory pucks. I am not
sure, but I don't think they are all the same size.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
I'd NEVER use the rubber pucks, they deteriorate fairly quickly. (The
kids leave theirs on the rink nearby, by the end of the following summer
they are just crumbly) I MIGHT consider using the polyurathane ones. But
since the whole kit with the structural plastic pucks and the proper
bolts is only $80, why be cheap?
