912E jacking point

[DJ Connolly]

Hi All,

I'm about to put the 912E up on jack stands for a long awaited heavy C-Check (aviation term). Any suggestions for a preferred point to put the jack for the rear pair of stands? I have read the Pelican Brief blog on jacking the 911. However, just wondering if there is an optimum location for doing the same for the 12E ? Suggestions/comments.... Discuss?

Here's how I deal with my MY68 912 (912E shouldn't be much different):

• Drive rear wheels onto (2x6 homemade) ramps (to provide jack clearance)
  
• Lift rear of the car using laminated 3/4" plywood set on transmission carrier mounts
  
• Put jack stands under inboard portion of torsion bar tube
  

With rear jack stands in place, I lift the front of the car using an ATV jack located either side of the tow hook/front a-arm mount reinforcement; jack stands can be located at multiple places to include the suspension cross bar, front a-arm mounts...

Peter and Dmitre,

Thanks for your help.

Agree with above for sure. The rear torsion bar tube is a great place to use jack stands and gives you plenty of stability for suspension work . The front crossmember is another great spot . You can place wheels and jacks in other spots for safety while you're working.
