Anybody use jacking pads on their 911's? I want to be able to Jack up via trolley jacks and not supplied scissor jack, but thinking I either just need a rubber pad (like the lifts at garages) or a bespoke 911 pad with the hump on it? what do other people use?

I've used these types of thing on my other car without any problems, other than remembering to take it off when it gets stuck to the car.

I used a metal 'pad' - think it was from design911
sat over the trolley jack cup, so wouldn't fall off, and had the raised hump in the middle that located in the sill - and a rubber mat on the flat section of the pad
Worked brilliantly
