I have question regarding how to use the jack pad adapters

I understand I'll be using the adapters when using my low profile (3000kg) trolley jack to jack up the car, the jack is like below



I have purchased a rubber pad to make it work with my other cars without doing damage

Based on your image, under the adapter there was something lese (aluminium), is it something else I need to buy to make it work with the BMS jack pad adapter?


Once the car is jacked up, I need to use the jack to slowly lower it onto the jack stands, are t he adapters supposed to directly sit on the stands (like below)?



Thanks

So the jack pad adapter sits on the rubber jack saddle as is, just center it and you are ok.



For the jack stands you can't use the jack pad adapter with conventional jack stands - it is not safe. You will need flat top jack stands like this:

Then take the rubber tops off these esco jack stands and there is a little recessed "cup" where the jack pad adapters can sit and not risk sliding off.
