There is a circular pad about 4" that fits the floor jack. The reason
for the vice grips was to keep the bar from sliding off the jack while
I as pushing on it to get it into place. It would not really be possible
for the bar to "roll".
The pads mate perfectly to the chassis mount points and fit in the
plastic cups. One is welded to the bar the other is adjustable.
I've attached a few more pics so you can see it better. The idea is
to get he car up and level then put the floor jacks under. Once it's
on the jack stands, it solid.

Looks like the only thing holding it to the jack is a vicegrip. The aspect ratio of the height above the jack looks like 2:1... 2" wide on the jack and 4" from the jack saddle to the lift points. This makes me nervous.
Great idea, but you need to ensure it cannot rolls as weight shifts. Weld it to the jack, or weld a round pin on the bar that replaces the saddle on the jack.
If that rolls the jack be supporting the car by, what, the driveline, exhaust and floorboard?
