I was planning on using a 200mm length of wood sleeper - either on the same axis as the sill, or at 90 degrees to it.

I was just wondering whether it would be better with or without the jacking pad in between the sleeper and the car. Without the pad, the sleeper would be touching/lifting either side of the jacking point (as well as the jacking point itself) - is this ok? That's the vital question.

(Perhaps I should start a separate thread on this ).
