Question Jacking a 914

I've been jacking my 914 from each of the 4 corner pads to do routine work but have always wondered where the "correct" position is to lift the entire front or rear end.
Where is he jack pad (wood block) actually positioned to get both wheels off the ground and on to jack stands?

Thanks in advance!

When I jack one side I use the factory jack hole. If I need to raise the rear I have a block of hardwood that is cut to fit under the rear of the transmission and jack from there. For the front, it is a wide piece of hardwood that goes across the front and at the front torsion bar mounts to spread out the load. I have also seen people jack the front by putting the jack under one of the front torsion bar mounts, but I don't do it that way.
