Avoid the potential damage of a jack punching through the lower wing skin by using our custom jack pad adapter. Our adapter fits into the main landing gear leg forging and is individually sized to fit all variations of machined openings. It allows the use of an automotive rolling floor jack to safely and easily lift your aircraft from the ground to replace a tire. Available in steel (1lb. 9oz.) or aluminum (9 oz.). Same material PSI strength–the only differences are the anti-rocking mechanism, the weight, and the cost. Zinc plated steel or alodined aluminum for corrosion protection.
ATTENTION G7 OWNERS: Due to the updated Beringer brake system bracketry on the G7, our current Jack Pad Adapter will not fit. We are working on a solution.
*Because the hole size in the forging is not consistent from airplane to airplane (and sometimes left to right), we send you common sizes for your Generation aircraft. After fitting the adapter, you return the unused sizes to avoid additional billing. The price is for one Jack Pad Adapter. If you need 2, or choose to keep the whole set, we will bill you for the additional adapters.
If you have a maintenance shop, buy the whole set and be prepared for any situation.
The price for the whole set reflects a “Get 1 Free” deal.
**Note: Early SR20s with serial numbers under 1194 may NOT have the hole in the forging to accept our Jack Pad Adapter.
***See pictures for placement. Instructions for fitting are included.
