tonytransam 43 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi John, the V8, I took a look today was wondering if centre of chassis was strong enough, with a piece of wood to spread load of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andydclements 820 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 That bottom of the chassis loop is very strong, easily capable of taking the weight of the rear of the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winter 19 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Under the gearbox then lower onto ramps with yellow pages for cushioning under each sill just ahead of each rear wheel arch. Safe and convenient. Prevents bending the tangs on the rear jacking points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonytransam 43 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ok cool. One of those tang things is already of due to rust. I'm going to get some stainless ones made and replace them all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM johnpwalsh 1,382 Posted November 11, 2013 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Hi Anthony, glad you got the info you required, I am not lucky enough to have a V8, yet. Bot seeds sown with SHMBO so may sell the S3 and the Éclat and invest. Edited November 11, 2013 by johnpwalsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
