Default Any interest in some polyurethane jacking pads for C1-C3s?

Basically they would look the same, but work on 53-82 models. Let me know before I go mass producing some. Cost would be $25 for four shipped and would be held in place with magnets instead of the eyebolts. on C5-C7 models.

This is what they look like and are a polyurethane that shouldn't damage the frame or paint. Colors are black, yellow, blue, red, orange, grey, white, green, pink, and purple.

Would the magnet be strong enough to drive with them on or just when servicing the car?

Just when servicing the car. With our other pucks we would only recommend using while jacking or lifting.

I would as well. Provided the cost of shipping is not more than the cost of product; a common problem these days.

Black is fine with me. Jacking up a C3 Corvette does not have to be pretty/color correct. Are you saying that you have already have 200 sets in stock then red is fine with me.

No, I have 200 in stock for the C5-C7 versions which is almost $5000 in product. I am not looking to house $10,000 in jacking pucks

In other words, you don't have this product for C3s.

Thanks for the input guys but I am not really starting this post to see what alternatives there are. C5-C7 has alternatives too.

Yeah you can use hockey pucks order threaded eye bolts, drill holes and thread them and then you have a set of black for $10-15 OR you can spend $25 and get an assembled polyurethane set in any color you like in a storage box delivered to your house for $10-15 more and use the 20- 30 minutes you would have spent messing with hockey pucks drinking a beer or eating dinner.

I realize they are a lottle less work on C1-C3s which is why I am guaging interest BEFORE I make a bunch I cant sell.

Tell me why you think there is a market for C3s. You must have done some market analysis. A hockey puck seems adequate.

Because I have a prototype made that was originally made for steel frame new models. I personally have that little 71 in the lower left I would personally use them on so I am asking if anyone else feels like I do and would use them.

No, so far I know Canada is $16.65 more and Guam is $6.90 more. I would assume APO and PR would be the same as Guam. Other international seems to be cost prohibitive for one set.
