| Hi Does anyone have any decent 2nd hand jacking points?
Will be fitting a new sill and would like to prepare it in advance with jacking points on, prior to fitting the new sill.

| Melle Yeah, but Malbrad want £45 each, which with postage, is over £100 for a pair. Unless you know somewhere cheaper?
A pair of decent 2nd hand ones would be fine. I could then pre-prepare the sill.

| I think someone on the other forum mentioned £36? Have you asked Bill from Saabits? Don't forget he does a 10% UKSaabs discount!

| Melle I don't know "Bob from SAABits", though, I'll have a look at their website. Andy

| You could go for the 'jacking point delete' option Andy, as I did on my 96 and use a block of wood and bottle or trolley jack. Those pesky jacking points only encourage rust...

They do, and I have considered it, but was advised against it. If I can't find a couple at reasonable cost, (ie not £100 a pair), this is probably the way I will go.

| Matt. Thanks mate, but the postage is 36 euros, so 107 Euros.....still comes to £100. I'll keep looking for a couple of 2nd hand ones, and if I can't find any at reasonable price, I'll delete them!

| You can always fit them later if not having any proves to be inconvenient.

| Melle Yeah, maybe, I'd like to avoid post welding jacking points, if possible. I'm sure one can manage without them. Not original of course, but I'm not a great follower of having to be "original". | Edited by - andydeans3 on 12 Jan 2019 18:11:18 | |

| If I would delete them and use a bottle jack, I'd use 2mm sheet for the sills instead of 1.5.
