Tangerine lift plate - what Jack Options

[Amphicar770]

Always a snag.

I have the tangerine lift plate but just discovered the post that sits in the "Tuna Can" is too wide for either of my jacks. It's about 1" diameter.

What Jack do others use or am I just not doing something right (very possible).

Thx.

As noted, post hole in my jacks saddle was too small. I could not really envision how to use a wood block in a way that I would feel it was fully secure. Sooo ...

Dragged out my Harbor Freight tranny Jack. The 800lb version.

Drilled a 1" hole in the plate (that was fun, used step drill bit, should have used plasma cutter). Cut a 9" X 9x piece of 3/4 plywood to match the plate. Drilled a hole in that to match the post and another one to match oil sump hole in the tangerine plate (giant hole saw for that one). Drilled more holes through Jack plate, plywood and tangerine plate so I could put bolts through the whole thing. Probably overkill, would have been easier just to by another Jack with removable saddle but, being laid off call for field expedient approaches.
