Mk2 escorts + axle stands

[Wilko131]

I managed to find a strong part of the chassis and got the front on axle stands however I need to do the same for the rear, however the rear chassis rails don’t look as strong and the sills are shot where else could I put the stands so I can get under the car

[Wilko131]

Yes it and until it’s been to body shop it’s staying on

Under the axle at each end by the leaf spring saddles.

I always jack on the diff with a little bit of wood in between. 

I've also glued some small rubber strips on my axle stands from an old bike inner tube and use axle stands on my axle. No problems there.

That’s a good idea I think I have some inner tubes laying about
