I need a pictorial/photographic guide showing exactly where to place jacking pads under a GT/156/147 when raising the vehicle on a hoist.  Can anyone help?

My GT is going to a non-Alfa shop for a rego safety inspection and I want to ensure they don't do any damage.

Definitely not under the sill like some idiot did to a couple of mine before I got it! There are round pad things behind the front wheels in from the sills and the same somewhere forward of the rear wheels. The factory jack fits into the ridge that is in behind the little triangles on the sills. You have to watch these guys at the risk of them looking offended.

The pics are at the bottom of the thread Paul.

And YES, the yellow arrow jack points ARE THE CORRECT ONES!!
If your mechs hoist has the correct pad adapters the hole in the yellow arrowed jack points are
for a pin to go through locking the jack point to the hoist pad, to make it even more stable.
