Is it Better to turn lift 90 degrees from normal direction or use in normal way?

Assume you are asking about a Quick Jack like Pelican Parts sales? I looked at the jack, and really couldn't find a way to use it under a 356 where I wanted to jack from, unless I was to make some cross braces to pick up structural jack points. Called them and they had the same conclusion. They also said they don't recommend turning it 90 degrees. I didn't see a problem doing that, but maybe there there is a reason outside of a legal one. Under our '89 911 it looked like it would work fine.

If you find a good way to use, please post.

I've lifted my 356 with a quick jack. I use a small piece of 2X4 with a slot cut in it for the pinch welds.

My body man has a more sophisticated version - It's a Titan scissor lift that works really well.

He was using it to detail my car before its appearance at Amelia Island this past March.

Bob,
Goo idea to protect welds. Do run lifts normal direction or 90 degree So?

Longitudinally. Can't believe I spelled that right.
