A good floor jack adapter for pretty cheap.

This is made by one of the companies I buy 928 stuff from, but it fits most P-cars including all Boxsters. Instead of adapting to the rotating top of the jack, it replaces that top with one that fits inside the jacking point holes. They have it listed at $27 including shipping.

Thanks for that post deliriousga!

This is exactly what I was looking for

I usally just removed the crown head portion and jacked it on the flat surface.

John,

Excellent. This is the Type I prefer rather than those which ride inside the original Saddle. Much more secure IMHO. Mine is similar - forget where I bought it.

BTW, I just finished modifying my Jack Stands for the Car as well. I have the Standard ones with the Forged 'U' shaped Saddles to accept a Box Frame Member. I drilled and tapped each one to accept an M10 Bolt, then got 4 Hockey Pucks and Center-Drilled them with a Countersunk hole. I thread the M10 Bolt through the Hockey Pucks into the Saddle and have a nice, rigid Flat Mount which doesn't Mar or Dent the Underside Members on the Car. Very Good Jackstands, less expensive than most are available here: http://www.bulletproofracing.com/jack%20stands.htm
Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I went one step further... I got four identical jackstands, and then cut four 3"x3"x3/8" steel plates to fit on the top of the 'U' shaped area. Welded them on so the tops of the jackstands are now flat plates, then welded a 1" long piece of pipe straight up in the middle of the plate so it will "plug" into the jack point on the Boxster. Some 1/4" thick rubber conveyor belt material with a hole in the middle to fit over the pipe is the padding.

The pipe now plugs into the jack point, and the Boxster settles down on the flat plate padded by the rubber material. Totally secure, can't slide off, and cost about $25 to do.

Once I'm done, the Car doesn't settle 'til it's driven, so the Jack slides right out. I have considered shaving the 2mm with a File from the Center Prong on the Jack Pad, but so far have been too lazy to do it. I particularly like the Nylon spacer rather than a Rubber one - more robust...
