Take off the sills and pull down the floor/ sill flange section. Thats what they had to do with mine.

The jacking points are part of the sills and the inner floor section, you cant buy them seperate.

The jacking points are not actually jacking points! they are lifting points for a 2 post service ramps, all 4 points are used to evenly distribute the weight of the car.
The jacking points to lift the car in the event of a puncture, are the very lowest tripled section of the sill...

I did this. You need to use a different thickness of metal for the jacking point area. I had to remake the section from the sill inwards around 3". The plastic bungs are another culprit of rust and I've welded over most of them.
