Let's see what the others say, but I would place the stands to hold the main
frame beams corresponding to each of the 4 wheel locations, no more, no
less. If it works for tires, it'll work for jack stands! JD

        I purchased a '72 TR6 two years ago. My plan has been to first get
it
        running, drive for a season to enjoy it, and find out what it needs.
Then I
        will proceed with a body off restoration.

        Well, I've finally finished building myself a garage/workshop. After
        building my wife a stained glass studio in the last three places we
lived
        over the past 20 years... I finally got my turn!!! I'm ready to dive
in!

        My TR6 is in good shape, meaning that the frame is not ready to
fold.
        None-the-less, I am looking for advice about jacking locations and
methods.
        I plan to get the TR 24" in the air on 4 6-ton jack stands. Where
would you
        place the floor jack? What should I watch for to avoid twisting or
damaging
        the frame? Thanks for the help!
