<p>I stand corrected! (mixed up my cars here)</p>
<p>Yes...my '73 GT6 states as Andy outlines. My 1980 spit manual,
does NOT even mention jacking!</p>
<p>The '73 has lots of real pics throughout.... 1980 barely has any
drawn pics.</p>

ever had. To quote from the 1970 Spitfire Handbook,
page 21: "Locate the nut of the fixing bolts
(rearwards of the front wheel and forwards of the
rear wheel) in the head of the jack for safety when
lifting a wheel." That's pretty much the way I've
done it since about 1971.<br>
