FM jack adapter - second generation
FM jack adapter - second generation
Collapsible content
Description
New and improved! Seriously. We've changed the material to make it easier on your car's finish and increased the versatility - while managing to cut the price by 20%.
Want to lift up both wheels on one side of your Miata at once so you can put it on jackstands or quickly swap tires? We do this all the time. Slide the jack under the middle of the car for a quick lift. Too bad Mazda only reinforced the seam at the front and rear of the car!
A customer asked us if we could do anything to solve this problem, and here's our answer. Our jack adapter sits on top of a typical floor jack and straddles that fragile seam, putting the load on the structure of the car instead. It's similar to the way the stock scissor jack is shaped, but offers significantly more surface area to prevent damage.
The new second generation design has two slots in it. One is a press fit on the pinch weld, which lets you stick the adapter on the frame rail before you slide the jack underneath. The other is wider, allowing the adapter to work with newer cars that have more plastic trim around the weld.
Fits all Miatas and many other cars. The slot is 7/8" deep and 3/8" wide, so as long as your other car has seams less than 7/8" high this should work. May not fit all jacks - a particularly deep or very small platform on the jack could cause a problem. The adapter has a 3" base.
We recommend you continue to use the factory lift locations on NC and ND Miatas due to some extra plastic trim. It will still make contact with some plastic parts, but we have not received any reports of damage since we started selling these parts back in 2010.

Put it on jack pad, then jack up under the mirror. Now both tires can be swapped, or rotated :). Less work, no damage to pinch weld.
I have been using this for multiple jobs in the last week and it has held up perfectly. I haven’t even used it on my Miata yet but as it is a good half ton lighter I imagine this will get the job done just as well. I wish I had bought this a long time ago - it would have saved my fragile seams from becoming the mangled flattened mess they are today.
safe and easy way to lift Miatas and many other vehicles with the same lift point.
I struggled with getting my '05 MSM lifted to change tires or work under the car. It is so low, my standard floor jack couldn't get to a lifting point in the center of the car and have enough room to move the jack handle. Now, lifting is a snap with the FM Jack Adapter.
Just slide it onto the pinch weld where it stays without needing another person to hold it in place while you position the jack. If you position it where the bottom window seal overlaps as in the attached photo, it lifts both wheels from the side and balances the car.
And no damage to the monocoque body seam. This is a must for every Miata owner.
