[DeTomaso] Techno question: Rear Jack Plate

[Dennis Valdez]

Hockey pucks work well and can be carried easily in the frunk.

One would probably work, but I use two side by side in front of the lip on the rear cross member.  The pucks are just thicker than the lip and are hard rubber so distribute the load well.
