As suggested, keep them in the boot for when needed (never on our cars what!)
and...
I've been looking around for a suitable rubber grommet to put into the vacant floorpan holes, nice cheap, neat, rust denying solution

must admit ive been in two minds on these. my ztt was purchased almost two years ago with only one pad in place. the latest mot in Nov. reported everything rock solid underneath. the cills have drain holes along the inner face which ive assumed keep air flowing around the inside and stop water pooling too. I have sprayed rust preventative into each hole inc, the jacking points and hope that will keep the tin worms away.

When my sills needed repairing the welder used heavy grade metal plates onto the jacking points. No pads needed if you use one on the jack.😉
