Pinchweld Protectors

Post by sansouci »

I've see quite a number of these on ebay but the gap in the middle needs to be deep and wide enough for the e24 pinchwelds. Anyone have a source for a proper fitting item? I've got an old Walker floor jack which has a large saddle. I wonder what a 3-D printer would do as I have no idea about the tech specs of the plastic used to form the parts.

I've just got a few hockey pucks with a big groove cut in using my table saw. I recall seeing these made commercially somewhere - maybe an eBay seller - but they're easy enough to make yourself.
