Hello,

That's ok

I use this cross member with a section of channel to spread the load.

Even better is to use a steel beam with packers to lift the whole rear end, then put 2 axle stands.

Don't forget to chock your front wheels, and slacken off the rear wheel nuts before jacking if you intend to remove them once on the stands

Work safely,

Cordialement,

:ok

Hello Mick8y,

Brilliant thanks,

2400 km through 5 countries, and I didn't even have to lift the engine lid. :wink:

I'll do a proper post when time permits, but F1 Nurburgring was AWSOME,
