I don't have any carpet so it was pretty apparent that my front donuts are kind of pressing thru the floorpan.

I use the front donuts to hold up the front of the car when I have the back jacked way up.

anyone else who uses the front points notice this? I thought my pans were solid, maybe they are not. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Dave,
Take a 2x6 about 9" long and cut a hole in the middle of it. The hole should be large enough for the donut to fit inside it. When you put the car on jackstands, use the 2x6 and place it at an angle so it is bearing on the seams that are on two side of the donut. This way the seams are carrying the weight and not the donut.
