jack point inserts?
so my jack points are plastic hollowed out squares that look like they accept an insert for a jack
am I missing something? should I have inserts for them? I need to install mudflaps but got stuck when I tried to figure out how to jack the car up |

I have a hockey puck that I cut up on my bandsaw to fit the jacking point recepticle.
I know there was somebody on e90post was selling billet aluminum pads that they made up to fit on most floor jack heads and they have a piece the goes into the indent. |

These guys made some aluminum billet jack points for the MINI that are also shorter than stock for better jack clearance. Maybe those would work with the 1 also or they could make some up. THey are a little pricey IMO, but they do seem to work well from what I have read online.

Keep in mind that the piece you linked is an adaptor that will fit into the jack points and the cup of a floor jack (and is actually quite cool btw). The others are actually replacement jack points that are shorter than the stock ones. |

Drive up on 2X4's then you can hit the center jackpoint no problem with a decent pulley jack...
Then throw some stands up front on the 2 jack pts.. then lift from the back center jack point straight up and slide to more jack stands under the back 2 jack points... This is what I did to get all 4 tires off at once!

Anyone tried these? I saw them on the website when I checked out the jack point inserts. I am debating getting a torque wrench to do up my lug nuts or a set of these.
Ever tightening your wheel & wonder if you have it torqued to the right settings? These Schwaben torque sockets take the guess work right out of the equation. Just tighten away & Schwaben torque socket will ratchet when the appropiate torque has been reached. Come withs 17mm 19mm & 21mm 1/2" impact sockets. Kit comes in nice compact plastic blow case.

I made two of these at work to fit on a low profile aluminum jack. A little different than the ECS version, I made the pad larger diameter and made it cupped to fit the jack pad.
