How to lift with a hoist
Hello, I have read through the many questions and responses about how to lift an early Porsche using jacks, jack stands, etc., but I did not see any answers to those who were asking about lifting the car using a hoist. I will be removing the engine, transmission, and front and rear suspension as I get deep into the rebuild of my '66 912. What are the best lifting spots to use a two-post hoist on? Thanks for any input!

Having a desire to begin the work to remove the engine sooner than later, I decided to position the lift pads just in front of the rear tires and just behind the front tires where there is an obvious joining of the floor pans to the side supports and based on how the structure in those areas curves in under the car from the wheel wells, it looks very strong.
I have lifted the car using these points several times now and there has been no deviation in the metal structure! The attached photos show the relative lift points! Hope this helps folks trying to do the same thing! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
