Hello,
I recall a while ago i seen a diagram that showed the ideal locations to place jack stands for the Riviera X frame chassis, can anyone lead me to this picture???
Im wanna put my 67 Rivi on stands but dont know the best place to put em. i understand some positions can be detrimental.
Cheers

I am anxious to hear the answer to this question, as I have a related concern about the correct and safe lift location(s) when using a hydraulic floor jack.

For lifting with a floor jack:
- Front center cross member, in front of oil pan.
- Under rear differential in center of rear axel
Places to put jack stands:
- In front, just behind front wheels, you will see where frame slopes down and then runs even with the ground. Put them there.
- In rear you have 2 options:
+ Under rear axle, as far outboard as you can (works if you do not want to lower the rear axle to work on it).
+ Under frame forward of rear axle, near where control arms attach, if you want to allow the rear axle to hang.

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art. |
