I used 1 hockey puck cut in half. Drilled a 1/2 hole in it... and a couple of holes in the hood.

Total cost for the puck and bolts Under $3.00

The only thing that I would change would to have put the puck halves closer together on the hood. There is a slight bow to the hood and the jack bounces a bit at the top of the bow... or the middle of the jack.

My paint is getting pretty well marked up from the trees and brush here in michigan so it is not a big deal for me. Here is the best picture that I have.

I must credit the hockey puck idea to another post here at NAXJA
