cabrio jacking and support points

[VWaxilMK1cab]

I dont like jacking mine up either cos i'm not sure where to put the jack.

But I always use the thing about 10" in from the sill, just behind the front wheel, think it's like a floor brace or summet?

You have to use a nice flat surface on ur jack tho, I've made a chok that lets the bar sit nicely into it so as the weight is spread evenly.

I'm probably jacking it in completely the wrong place tho, but it just looked like someone had done it there before and I dont like using the sills cos i used a standard windey jack once and it fell off! albeit luckily i stil had the wheel on.

Oh and i put the axle stands under the bottom arm, just by the anti-roll bar mounting. I am having a new exhaust centre section fitted 2moz so i'll take some pics while its on the ramps to show u if u want?
