I've been looking about for suitable jack stands that suit the NSX's jacking point profile. I've not really came up with anything other than http://www.asedeals.com/flat-top-jack-stands.html which are very expensive and only sold in the US.

From what I've read I feel the best option is to use ice hockey pucks and maybe machine them a little to fit the axle stands better and also machine a small groove on the top for easier locating purposes.

The other option being machining something out of steel and getting it welded.

Does anyone know of any other options? Am I missing something obvious? :)

My Halfords special offer ones have a U-shaped top; the car sits quite happily in the flat bits if the U.

I wish all cars had six side jacking points like an NSX! I've never found one so easy to get airborne.
