thinking of adding thicker rubber pads on car lift arms

[Grumpy]

I was working on my 1996 corvette and I noticed that the lift arm pads on my two post lift, leaves minor marks on the cars frame,
now that's certainly not a major issue as you need to look for the marks, and this is the first time I noticed it in the 10 years I,ve used the lift in my shop, to even see them, but I decided to either fabricate or buy larger and thicker pads, yes the lift came with pads but they are not all that large, thick or soft , Id like some that are a bit larger.

I can find an old semi -truck tires and cut pads and make what I need ,
or I can buy some ready made versions

whats the strongest glue for bonding rubber pads to steel?
Ill probable drill and tap thread holes for recessed screws anyway,
Id assume I can use weather strip adhesive ?
I,m open to ideas? what have you gentlemen done!
what pads do you gentlemen use?

You can purchase rubber in many different sizes and thicknesses. We have an industrial rubber supply here in OKC. I used them for my vibration/mounting pads on the compressor.

CONGRATS ON GETTING A GOOD design on the rubber vibration insulators on your COMPRESSOR!
and your effort in taking the time too install those vibration insulators does make a big difference. as I posted before, I use two layers of 3/4" plywood and two rubber waffle mats
I don,t have all the clearance you have but it is enough to easily drain the tanks before every use

This always worked for me.
