Round jack into rectangular points
Completely newbie question here..
So I wanted to jack up the car at the basic jacking points just behind the front wheels in order to remove the wheel. However, my trusty floor jack has a round support point whereas the M3 jacking points seem to be rectangular. As I raise the jack the edge of its round support catches the edge of the rectangle, which seems the wrong thing to do. Am I missing the point (sorry)? Or do I need to get a different jack or some kind of adapter piece? Any pointers welcome... |

Works perfectly fine, secure if the jack is correctly positioned, and no visible damage to the bracket! |
