silly newby question

Postby johnnie » Fri Mar 14, 2014 6:25 pm

Okay folks, new to kit cars so here goes

I want to lift my Midas on my mates four post lifter. Obviously I can use the front subframe (as my Mini) But where is it safe to lift at the back? I'm looking at radius arms I suppose but what if I want to remove them?

Cheers

Johnnie

The corners of the floorpan are plenty strong enough IMO. Here's a MK 3. The MK 2 is both stronger and lighter.

You won't have any trouble supporting a Mk2 on the rear (or front) corners, it's built like a brick outhouse.
