Pinch weld adapters...
My car is 23 years old, luckily in all those years no one has smashed the pinch weld jack points. I'm think of buying one of the following adapters:
http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...emType=PRODUCT
or
http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/show...roductid=12467
Does anyone have any feedback on either one? Or a better/cheaper source for them. I suppose I could just make one out of wood, but buying one is probably just as cost effective.
Thanks!

i cannot personally say which one is better, however i have used the pinch weld adapters before (not sure of brand though) i can vouch for eastwood however, as they are very reputable and make good quality products.

No feed back on either, I dont lift any of my cars by the pinch welds. I always hit the frame. When I was working for Belle Tire I had a couple of cars pinch weld spots give out on me, luckly it was as I was lifting and not already up and working on the car. I just cant trust lifting a ton or so to some sheet metal anymore.

I wouldn't trust your car on that pinch weld, in my personal opinion.
I use big lifts at the college shop and my own 2 1/2 ton floor jack. If you use a rubber pad like you'd find on a lift then it should be fine.
