Rob Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Indeed. Any normal axle stands from High Street store will suffice. Ones that have a built-in recess for the side rails are best. Get down on your knees and have a look under the side, the jacking points and stand points are just to the front and rear of the rear and front tyres, there'll be two little notchs in the rail to indicate the area. If you're using the boot jack all is well, if you have a trolley jack with a flat sole-plate then you WILL need a piece of hefty angle iron to place in V between car and jack, else you will flatten the side rails.

michael Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 And your time is worth more than everyone else's then? And you don't seem to be in too much of a rush, you've replied a few times now. I'm happy, just curious as to why some people are so lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
