    not a big fan of jacking on the seam myself, seen far to much damage done when the seam has folded over due to a misplaced jack saddle. I normally jack on the chassis leg, but this puck makes the seam a handy alternative option.

    Sorry to bring this up again guys. Can someone take a look at this. They do this and another priced around £60. Will this be sufficient enough or will I need the 3 t one ?

    The jacking point for a trolley jack will be just behind the sill, in the same approx. area as where the sill jack goes. Looks for a flat area with a hole of approx. 20mm diameter in it.
