Rain has stopped play yet again. It's chucking it down.

Yes, I'll try it this way. Hopefully there's enough ground clearance to get both jacks under the hubs - one jack is quite high even when it's in the fully lowered position.

Sorry I did not realise the damper was not fitted in my previous reply.
Do put the car on 4 wheels before torqueing up the bolts etc

I did wonder about the damper (neither are on at the moment) - I'll try and get both of them on when the rain stops.

It doesn't require the full weight of the car taking on the jack, so no danger of lifting it off stands.

I got both backplates and one hub on yesterday before the rain. As soon as it's stopped I'll get the other hub and both dampers on.

Handbrake cables aren't connected at the hubs yet - I'll do that when the rain stops. The shoes will be miles out of adjustment because they're new, plus I decided now would be a good time to fit a stainless steel compensator.
