Dr H Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Following my call out to the wonderful forum that is MLOC re spare wheels or axle stands while I get my wheels refurbed, Jody very kindly lent me his 'foam blocks'. They are made from foam used for modelling and insulation. Super-light and great compressive strength. Got the car up on them last night and they are great! So stable and nice and kind to the underside of the car. A great alternative to axle stand or the boxes of paper method used by a lot of others on Elises / Exiges. I think I might need to source some for myself. Thanks again to Jody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo_paul Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 you know what our models at work are propped up with the pink foam and I never thought of that! Need to be friendly to one of the modellers. I didn't thing you were supposed to prop the car on the engine panel at the back without taking it off?

Dr H Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I didn't thing you were supposed to prop the car on the engine panel at the back without taking it off? I thought about this. You can support the car slightly further forward on the chassis outer but the Honda is a bit heavier at the back to wanted to use the jacking point further back. I watched very carefully for deformation of the under tray as I did this and it shows no sings at all. Maybe when I take them off I'll be proven wrong but seems OK so far!

Martin R Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 If you place them where the large bolts go through the last undertray all should be well. I have jacked up here lots of times with the undertray off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
