Thanks they look like a saddle so wouldn't that damage the car? I'm reading that I should use Hockey puck type blocks which are flat? Some on eBay I see made for the 993.

I have the rear under tray so I cannot use the engine (and I don't know enough anyway to know where to safely place the trolley jack under the engine even if I didn't have the rear under tray in place.

I've got the safejack axle stand that allows you to jack at the lifting points and place the stand in the same location. See pic of it in use at the rear lifting point...https://photos.app.goo.gl/JiFumCpt1gogNxap2

Endoman said:Slightly related but forget the axle stands. I'm looking for a scissor lift as we have just acquired a 2 car garage with workshop and cellar, comes with a house.
A confusing selection are available so any recommendations would be much appreciated. I need to have minimum lift of around 36" as I'm pulling the engine. The one from BH Engineering looks ok as does the Bendpak.
