Hi Jon. I have been using the wheel under the sill for around 50 odd years now. Was given the advice by an old mechanic who’s friend had been killed under a car when the jack slipped on the bare metal sill. I do it every time I work under the car. I put two pieces of wood on the top of the wheel also so it is against the sill or nearly. Not bothered if the sill does collapse,I will still be ok............I hope.
