G'day,
I liked the Torin Jack Stands with the security pin I decided to see if
Harbor Freight jack stands could be modified.
As you can see in the photos below they can! In the picture I used a 1/4"
stainless steel allen head bolt as that was the first one that came to hand.
I will buy grade 8 allen head bolts as the shear strength is higher. If
you're REALLY paranoid you could put a wing nut on the through pin.
It took me about 15 minutes to figger this out and modify one jack stand
with a hand drill. I'll make a template and drill the rest on my drill
press.

Regards,
Rob
PS - Mac as you can see the HF jack stands are also marked 3 TON and since
the spec in their catalog says they're rated at 6000 pounds I have come to
the conclusion that means 6000 pounds total for two or 1.5 tons each.
