David,
The floor board under the seat pan is supposed to have the jacking
hole in it. The cross stringer that is in front of the seat pan
should have the hole in it for jacking. However, a lot of cars
that have had the chassis replaced are missing this hole.
Consiquently, the original jack is of no use. One of the reasons
given for not putting the hole in the new chassis, is that the
original jacks keep breaking.
