[Shotimes] SFC installation questions

[Donald Mallinson]

A good and accepted way to install them is with a typical 
lift that has four moveable pads.  Lift the car fairly close 
to the center, as far to the outside as possible.  This way 
the car has a tiny bit of downward "hang" from both ends. 
When the SFC are welded on, and the car goes down on its 
wheels, it puts the SFC in a little bit of tension.

Most units that lift by the wheels don't leave a lot of 
space between the treads, making it hard to get where you 
need to be to weld.
