BruntonStalker Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Hi, I just acquired an M spec stalker and wanted to see what are the correct jacking and towing points for this chassis? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The ones I've seen can be towed and jacked but I think "correct" is a stretch as the tow points seem to be optional or left off by the builders. If you have a cage and rear diffuser and need to pull the car on to a flat bed/dolly/trailer, a strap around a cage tube could be used without damaging anything. For jacking, the rocker rails behind the side pipes would work well for front and rear. Consider slipping a board or rubber pad between the jack and rail to prevent scratches from the jacking pad/foot. If it is too low for a standard floor jack to slide under, roll the car on boards or use a 2x4x8 (narrow side up) with a 2x4 cleat two feet from the end to lift against the chassis rail without pushing on the exhaust to bring it up enough to use a floor jack. You could also lift at the cage. A version of the '60's pit jack would work well. They work similar to a hand truck with a reversed handle and are made to engage a flat surface over a large area. They had wood or rubber strips attached to prevent scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruntonStalker Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Thanks @MV8. Should I be able to put a piece of wood in this corner and Jack it up or do I have to remove the sheet metal pan?

MV8 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Yes. No need to remove the skin if you use a block of wood across the corner that will lift on the rocker rail and the cross rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
