Hello Richard
Thanks for your contribution
I can see that it would be better to use a jack on the subframe or axle if the sill or jacking point was likely to give way - but this seems to run counter to the almost routing provision of jacking points on cars of all ages. is it just an old car thing or would you recommend it for new cars as well.
The jacking points I have are very substantial (thick) and I would imagine they would last well with painting and maintenance.
I take your point about cutting the sill open - and this may have been the concern of the welder i have spoken to but as it stands, I will suggest he does just that - including checking on the state of whatever is inside - even if it takes him more time and therefore costs me more money!
No PV444 owners out there to explain how that model managed with one jacking point each side!
