Hi all
Can anyone tell me the distance
Between the front chassis rails
As I plan to make a jacking beam
To lift the front so both sides lift at the same time
Cheers stu

A fence post - or scaffold board works well.....

This is what you want and it works well and once in place cannot move.[frame]

The length required is 400mm.

So the 400mm is that the outside edge to outside edge??

Looking at the picture I would say it is the inside edge, Phil lifts on the front cross beam.

It is indeed under the front cross member - it allows unhindered access to the front suspension.
The 400mm is the same distance between the chassis rail all the way back to the cross member.
