Default Re: How do I jack up my ZR-1?

Looked around for the rear jacking adapter. Believe it was available from the "Corvette Gadget Man".
Appears he may not still be around.
Do a search for him & you will find some pics of the adapter.

I hear ya! I follow the pinch-weld forward of the "designated jacking point" (printed on the rockers) to where it curve toward the middle of the car and away from anything my floor jack is going to interfere with. Then I place a jack stand ahead of that - along that same pinch weld. NO SPECIAL ADAPTERS NEEDED (I find).

BTW, the article you referenced was mine. So, if you need clarification(s) or whatever, let me know!

That’s the jack I got. If your tire goes flat, this is the only one to get you out of that bind. Plus it is light and not expensive![emoji482]

Did the same thing listed above but added this under the pinch weld.

Rubber Jack Pad Medium Size
Nice addition although the ridge seems very strong and I have a rubber jack pad

I think I will get a couple of those

I use my jack on the pinch weld close to the rocker as possible but underneath the car and place the jack stands further forward along the pinch weld as they get closer to the motor. Ill see if I can dig up a photo to better explain it
