Ever bought a hydraulic jack then found it doesn't come with a rubber bush on the hoist part? So you end up ether destroying the jacking points ie on the VT - VX which is a folded piece of metal or the car slides all over it.
The quick fix for this for VE and VT etc is to buy a $3 rubber mallet from Kmart. Cut the rubber off at the handle and you now have a ready made bush for your jack. You have two actually.
Cut a groove into the one you use for VT-VX and a smaller one for VE.
If necessary file some rubber off the base to make it a tight fit onto the hoist end.
