Jack envy

[mik]

There is an axle stand that works brilliantly and I should stop being cheap and buy them.

They are a really neat design solution, but you’re not going to be able to under something that’s low.

Remember in Dave's case, the axel stands are to protect the underside of the car from damage if it drops on him...

I like the compact and convenient nature of the £80 one Mik has posted but feel like 15 minutes with bit of box section steel and I can make one up which fits my jack exactly, is more secure and doesn’t need to be adjustable.

That occured to me too, but although I did once have access to my dad's arc welder - I gave it to Flewy.

Could probably make up a set at 250mm, 325mm, and 400mm that would probably cover almost every job.

Being soft and squidgy means very little damage is done.

Dave!
