Jacking Points

[the bear]

This is an embarassing question, but sod it here goes. I have my first Westfield, bought as a finished car. I need to know where the front and rear jacking points are .

I have a build manual, but the picture is best described as vague, i.e not worth jack s##t. It shows the points as on the side of the car!! - Now even I knew that!

Where is the strongest part of the chassis front and rear? better pictures or dimensions from a recognisable bit would be brill.

Also do I need to modify my normal jack top plate in any way? It is round and sort of cupped with slots in the walls.

Rear under the diff

Front under the outer end of the wishbone for one wheel

or under the box section behind the rad for both wheels

I made some steel box section suports that span the rear of the car that fits just under the bulkhead and goes the full width of the chassie when off the ground I use this to hold the car up on axel stands

The front one spans the front suspension box just behind the rad.

You can see the front one in this picture the rear is just longer.

And when jacking / supporting on chassis use some pieces of softwood or old towel folded over to save damaging the powder-coating / painting of chassis

Mark if you look carefully ou can see the foam strip on the front support.
