I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce myself on this new account. I'd previously posted under the user name messar, but ended up breaking the forum rules for advertising without being a sponsor when I received quite a bit of interest for jack pads that I initially made for myself.

The moderator suggested that I would be able to advertise items for sale by coming on as a sponsor, so this is what I've done.

I have a quite well equipped work shop with CNC milling capability, anodizing, welding. Jack pads are my first product, as they are a very good fit with what I'm able to build, but my hope is to branch out to other products that are not well served by other vendors - I'm able to iterate very quickly since i'm a one stop shop for building parts, and enjoy coming up with creative solutions.

Please have a look at my classifieds add for the jack pads - a big thanks goes out to the forum members who helped with getting the design right for the various vehicles.

Thanks,
Matt

 

Hi Matt...My pads are great. My son was impressed with the red you did on mine. You should post pics of your pads to show the forum members....Good luck....

 

Thanks for the kind words. Here is an example of the rear pad for the Vantage S and Roadster - somewhat intricate, but satisfying in a mechanical way

Matt

Got mine today, so now you are represented on the other side of the Pacific too

Many thanks

Those look great. I made my own using polyurethane bmw jack adapters but might have to buy these.

One of the problem with the aston I found was that there is no middle jack point to lift the rear of the car. Sector111 makes a lifting bar that spans the two jack points and you lift on the middle of the bar and then once you raise the car high enough you drop it on the the jack stands. Just an idea.

 

2005 DB9 Need a set of pads in hand by May 18th, can you tackle this. Mine don't have to be anodized. PM me with the details and we can get those done

 

Here is a link to lift bars from a guy that make them for Porsches. Don't see way Matt couldn't come up with something for Astons.

Great idea!

 

Hi,

The jacking bar is actually what I had in mind for my next project

Matt

 

Jacking bar is an awesome idea, especially if you can make it low enough to get under a lowered car.

What is the difference between the Vantage and Vantage S coupe versions?

 

I must stop reading these forums...My wallet keeps getting lighter when I see these great ideas...Ok Matt make mine in red...

 

Deckman - the standard coupe and the S/Roadster have very different undertrays that are really close to the jack points.

I'll post some details showing the differences.

I really wish I could see how they handle the various cars in the factory - every model seems to have a different design.

Matt

 

I sure could have used a set of these a week ago when I finally had a day off to address some deferred maintenance

 

I wonder do the different side skirts have different cutouts for the jackpoints? I have a 13 coupe with N400 skirts. There is almost no room for jacking, especially in the rear.
