Like all DoD bases, we had the Auto!! Hobby shop, and my Saturdays were there, a few blocks from my French Colonial style base house. I anted to replace the springs, and the book said: "Enroll 3-4 of your mates to lean on the front to compress the springs, insert the retainers, and remove the now-compressed springs...." I found 3 gullible guys at the shop, they leaned on it...and the entire car tipped off the jackstands onto the ground!! I have a photo of it reclining, forlornly, there. Since Flexibility is the Key to Airpower, one of the shop regulars said I will bring a fork lift from the flight line. He did, and lifted the hapless, lightweight car (no engine or trans) back onto more steady jackstands. I have photo proof of this automotive peccadillo! Injuries only to ego, 1, mine.<br>

<br>
The one shown on ebay is for an SD1 it mounts on square slots directly under the rear bumper at corners end by the mounts and in front ,about a foot in from from the edge they are very scary as the car is quite unstable unless it is on a dead flat surface. the other wheels need to be securely chocked .<br>
once my other rear wheel slipped sideways and the jack twisted letting the car drop<br>
