okay.. the old pressboard thing is too warped to be ove service much longer, but i dont have any cash to waste on it and i want to replace it. what has anyone else used that they found somewhere for free??

 

SOMEONE must have done this on the cheap like me by now.. im sick and tired of it...

some hardwood "luan" thin plywood epoxied clear or whatever should work. Use the old one as outline. just as thin and wood takes to strong plastic type paint, to be stronger than oem. I too am missing one, and the side ones are warped, and they soak in all oil fluids and anitfreeze and stink for several years :)

plexiglass would be good too, if it doesn't get too cold where you live.

in retrospect, when i put my new craftsman floor jack in there with the big case it came in.. the warping of the stock unit is just fine, if its turned upside down:lol: the lack is just about an inch too high to fit perfectly.

 

the plexiglas is a good idea though, i DO have some of that.. and go read your frost advisory thread.

 

it doesnt get too cold where I live. THANK the GULFSTREAM....
