    Curious, where do you recommend placing this when using it....I’d worry about the nub that locks into the jacking points of the later cars would dent our cars.....I was under the impression the aluminum 944/951 jacks with the slit in the top surface was the way to go, the slit slides over the body seam near the jacking point or by the rear torsion bar.

    This one looks very similar to the 944 Jack which I have. I put a block on top and use it in the usual spots underneath.

    I recently bought a 944 jack for my 73. Apparently a ice hockey puck with a carved out hole works well too.

    Exactly what I use. Stock jack lives in the basement.

    Here's what I did to use the "944 jack" with the bump in it. A few pieces of Ipe wood, although a hockey puck might work better as it is a bit softer and not as large.
