i was going to mount the rear of the car through the bumper but i have dummy fitted the jig and the Panel has quite a lot of flex just under the pressure i apply! dont know if i would trust the whole weight of the car!

yeah i dont think that will be a great place to mount it from might be a little sketchyy. alot of jigs that i have seen mount to the chassis so there will be no movement.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion that the bumper mounts were too weak to take the car although the Mk1's seem to fair better.

I mounted mine to the rear spring mounts and the front sway bar mounts in the chassis rails. Was rock solid and allowed 100% access to the shell.

I have since passed on the jig.......but I can supply some images if needed.

yeah post some up paul, a little thread about it would help alot of people.

the spring mounts look good i may have to drop into work today and do a bit more fab. if you can find pics that would be great
