Sealey JP19 safety rubber jack pad – type C, black
Here’s a tidy little bit of kit for anyone who lifts cars regularly or simply hates finding new scuffs on the paintwork. The Sealey JP19 Safety Rubber Jack Pad (Type C) is a black rubber pad that sits on your jack saddle and protects the car’s jacking point from scratches, dents and paint damage. Simple, effective and proper handy to have in the boot.
what it does
It gives a cushioned contact between the jack and the chassis or pinch weld, so you don’t get metal-on-metal contact. That cushioning spreads the load a touch and prevents scored sills or chipped paint where the jack meets the car. Especially useful on alloy panels, freshly painted areas or any car you’d rather not see marked while you’re under it.
key features and specs
- Diameter: around Ø99mm (some listings vary slightly, so double-check your saddle first).
- Profile depth: approximately 20–22mm for a secure cradle on the jack saddle.
- Compatibility: fits typical jack saddles in the region of 96.5–103mm — measure to be certain.
- Material: durable rubber that grips the contact area and resists tearing in normal use.
- Lightweight and compact — easy to keep in the boot or toolbox.
how and when to use it
Just slide the pad onto the jack saddle before you raise the vehicle. It works with most floor and trolley jacks that have a round saddle in the sizes noted. Perfect for garage jobs, changing tyres at the roadside or prepping a car for a service. It won’t turn a dodgy jack into a professional lift though — always use sensible lifting practice: chocks, axle stands and firm, level ground.
notes and tips
Some listings show slightly different measurements — 99.5mm vs 99mm, or 20mm vs 22mm depth. That’s pretty normal for small rubber parts and won’t usually affect performance, but if you need a perfect fit it’s worth measuring your saddle beforehand. In short: check the saddle diameter; this pad is aimed at saddles around 96–103mm.
All told, it’s a small, low-cost way to protect your car while lifting. No more fretting about scratches when you’re doing brake work, tyre changes or inspections — a smart little buy that keeps the paintwork looking tip-top, all year round.
