I wonder what the weight limit is, our cars weigh a lot more than a Moggie.My mechanical mind wonders about the load on that screw thread as you start to lift.I have been thinking of a simple spigot shaped adaptor with an inverted "U" section welded underneath, one each side in the jacking points.Jack the car up from the front or rear, adaptors in their holes, scaffold pole right across under the car,then drop the ends of said pole into the saddles of an axle stand each side.P.
