You can make your own with a hockey puck and a threaded metal eye hook, I think 3/4" diameter.

eBay come out of China or Hong Kong, takes about a month. I ordered some a couple months ago, it's just a lifting puck, they're fine for the $.

Are these to be left in all the time? Do they snap into place at all? Or only to be installed when jacking?

I loved mine in my C7 that I just left in 100% of the time. Incredible convenient.p

Not really, mine worked out so I will give you a screen shot of who I used. If you use them be patient, took about a month.

Only when jacking, just user choice on snap in or quarter turn.

Is it a SOP for the the GM certified corvette techs to use jacking pucks during service or do I need to bring my own?

I always use mine when working on vehicles. You should be ok if you bring your own as all shops can be different.

These look exactly like the C-5, C-6 and C-7 pucks. Can we just use our existing pucks?

Looks like the bottom part of the puck holds the weight.

‘Shouldn’t that screw and washer be countersunk so all that weight isn’t on the head of the screw and maybe pushing it up into the hole stripping the threads ? Ya might have a problem removing it later on.
