I appreciate the endorsement. And I'm happy with the solutions I came up with there. But really, they were made with the scraps of materials and tools I happened to have around my garage.
Also, customizing the fit to the floor jack is best done with the jack right there. When I first made them 3 years ago when I got this x5, I had a different jack, so I had to do a little extra routing / chiseling to make them fit snugly with the new one.
If someone else wanted to make something
like these, it would not make sense to make an exact copy. They'd want to make them based on their tools and materials at hand. For example, that bracket I use on the rear adapter has one flange sticking up, and the other one flattened. The flattened one serves no purpose at all, and would have been cut off if that was easy, but it was easier to just flatten it.
