Jacking onto axle stands

Post by Rubyoptics »

Just a quick one. I saw the illustration on here for jacking the car onto axle stands. The illustration says to use a crossmember on the sill and to locate it as close as possible to the jacking point.

(http://www.peugeot206cc.co.uk/repair-20 ... ak0vk3.htm)

Sorry for the stupid question but can i use a piece of timber with a groove cut into it to accept the lower sill for this 'crossmember'?

Sorry for being a pain in the arse Col, but any chance you could give me a picture showing where you are taking about?
