So I just bought a 3 ton low-profile floor jack from Harbor Freight because I needed a jack (my set was stolen for the second time) and they had it on sale. The steel saddle has ridges on the outside and I just don't see how they expect people to use it to jack up cars without needlessly gouging up the frame rails.

I would like to have some sort of rubber pad on the saddle. I know Prothane makes floor jack pads but I just don't want to spend $15+ on something that looks like a few cents worth of material.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what I can use to make my own saddle pad? Ideally I'd like to make a circular pad about 1/4" thick made out of some dense rubber-like material to sit in the saddle.
Thanks
