<VV> Fwd: Jacking points rear end?

[FrankDuVal]

For the first 25 years of working on Corvairs I always jacked up by the 
bellhousing or differential area. Never did anyone local to me say 
anything different.  Then I get on VV about 2000 and get told that can 
damage the motor/transmission mounts. I never had a failed mount on my 
or customer cars I could attribute to jacking them up that way.

I know people out west do not have this problem, but the 
bellhousng/differential area is sometimes the only safe place to jack up 
the rusty daily drivers I worked on back then. There was not enough 
rocker/triangular area left to jack up AND  place jack stands in that 
location!

Harry is out east here too! ggg  I'm sure he has worked on his share of 
rusty rocker/triangle area cars.
