[T3] Jacking Points

[Dave Hall]

I assume you have a trolley jack? 

Under the front beam is good - can do both front wheels.

The rear spring plate each side is good too, where the torsion bar tubes
are.  

I would be wary of leaving it with all wheels removed - just make sure it
can't go anywhere!

Subject: [T3] Jacking Points

Hello,

     Recently my '67 fastback had all four tires slashed. (My sister's
bi-polar and schizophrenic son decided to have an "episode" with my car as
the unfortunate victim.) Anyway, this leaves me having to jack up the car so
that I can remove all 4 tires so I can have them replaced. I have never
jacked up the car before, always used ramps if I needed to get under it. I
have jack stands and have put other cars on 4 jack stands before, just never
did it with the fastback.
Can someone supply me
with a comprehensive list of safe jacking / jack-stand points. I guess I
just need to know all the areas that will safely bear the weight of the car
using jacks and jack stands.
Thanks in advance.

Best Regards
Rodney Schofield.
