Default Re: Lift points - Model A

And - success! I was finally able to get my Phaeton lifted thanks to all the good advice!

For future readers, here is a summary of the lift point recommendations from others that worked for me:

Front lift points - The passenger one is tricky to avoid nonstructural parts. Essentially, find the frame very near the rear engine mount on both sides and use that. Use careful placement of your pads/arms. You'll also need extensions to not impact the running boards. I used the Bendpak long extension as well as a short extension.

Rear lift points - Use the frame just to the rear of the radius rods running to the rear wheels. Again, you'll need extensions to avoid the running boards.

Also, to avoid torquing the chassis, I agree with the recommendation to keep the doors all securely closed while lifted.

Thanks again to everyone that lent helpful advice here! Sure appreciate you all!
