Using Chassis Stands With A Roadsport

[Terence]

I have been fortunate enough to inherit  a number of useful items with my recently purchased Seven, including two chassis stands.

I have been trying to find where to position these under the car, but have been unable to find anything about using them.

I will be grateful for any help or advice on positioning the stands, and/or whether the use of such stands is deprecated (on the grounds of safety, security or any other reason) or if using axle stands is inherently more stable.

TIA

If by "chassis stands" you mean "axle stands", then IMO these are a very good idea on a 7, increasing stability and thus safety (especially when you're on your back underneath).

Position them like this:

ETA: Or do you mean these?  In which case I can't advise!)

Thank you, JV, I meant the stands similar to the ones you linked. These are illustrated here:

as I say, I cannot find any reference to using these with a Seven!
