Would I trust it? Well, I've used it. And it does hold up the car long
enough to change a tire. However, a good breeze will cause the car to
wobble. The one good thing about it is that it uses the pre-designed spots
to jack the car, rather than the frame. That being said, I don't know that
those little squares are any better for jacking the car. If the rear ones
have any weakness, the bending or flexing will damage the body itself,
rather than some unseen part of the frame.
Are those jack spots really strong enough to holding up the car? I do know
that for Porsches, with similar square jacking holes, they make this really
neat jacking pad, which is a round metal part of about 3 or 4 inches in
diameter attached to a square peg that fits in the hole. This allows the
use of a hydraulic jack and the factory jacking spots. Anyone want to make
them for the Sunbeam? Though come to think of it, the jacking point is
awfully high, and might not work with most jacks.
