I also found there are 2 kinds. Solid ones, and ones with the hole in the middle.
I used a bunch of them near the pool years ago and we use them as padding in the demo derby cars.
Handy things they are.

I assume the ones at Target have the hole in the middle. Don't think it will matter since it's just to help prop up a bumper cover on the VE ute.

I changed the oil in Black Thunder today. Near as much ended up on the floor as went in the drain pan...... I hope this is the last time I have to lie on my back to change oil. It was a breeze with the pit as I had a deep drain pan would fit underneath and not need the jack maxed out to have enough room for me to squeeze underneath. Can't believe this was how I used to service my cars before I had a pit. I'll admit I have put on a few pounds since then. Didn't help that the L98 takes about 8.5L of oil and my drain pan has the filter holding knob snapped off. I couldn't work out why there was oil running out the pan, then I remembered......

Also couldn't find my wide mouth funnel for pouring the new oil into the engine. So much gear is missing since the move. It's all there somewhere but the shelves are 3.5m high and some of the tubs are very heavy to manage on a ladder. Good thing though I found my mower servicing transfer pump and the funnel when I was looking for staples for the air stapler. I can now service the PS when I see some full syn trans fluid on sale.

Found the ones with the hole better. I often end up cutting them so I can wedge them on things

2011 VE SV6 COMMODORE
Did a fluid check and top up and put some air in the tyres for 550km trip to Melbourne this morning to leave my 4 wheeled baby there for a week or two to get some go faster bits put in. Did a 0-100 dash to see what it would do prior to the mods getting done and was pleasantly surprised when it clocked 6.3 seconds.

Is that figure from an SV6?

Yeap, we used for personal head /upper body protection on open panel edges, undercarriage doors, flaps and ailerons etc on the Hornets in case of you're not fully paying attention/insurance.

Wasted about 2-3hrs chasing an audio problem...... Still not resolved and I've had to give up..... Having said that some members helped me resolve another audio problem, so that's a win... :)
