TR lift points

Need to lift my TR on a scissor lift. Don't want to bend the sill edge (like in this Quickjack example https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/attachments/img_0320-jpeg.3208289)
so I'm planning on placing the rubber pads just behind the sill edge, to the left/right of the jacking points, similar to the attached 2 post pic.

Is the entire highlighted region safe to lift from?

Thanks

Yep. I carved similar stuff out of rubber blocks for my other cars (more clearance), but so far I only lifted the back of the TR (rear wheels on the lift) for oil changes.
I'd like to lift the whole car to detail the undercarriage. Based on that 2 post pic putting the pads behind the sill lip should be fine, but better to ask before.

Otherwise wood would probably work better in the channels as it would deform less.

 

Thanks Brian. Since it's a scissor lift and the clearance isn't much those spots would be more difficult.

Passenger side - can I put the pads behind the sill lip to the right of the jack point on the front and left of the jack point in the back?
More or less similar to that 2 post pic.

 

Unless I'm mistaken the channels cover the entire width of highlighted green region. So, aligned with the lifting channel, passed the sill lip, the pad would rest
on the edges of the lifting channel. Guess it can take it without bending them but in this case it'd be better to do what Raysur mentioned and put a piece of wood or a narrow pad in the channel stacked on the main pad, so the pad doesn't push on the channel edges only.

Had these small pucks which fit into the jack locations. Might do that.

My ramp extensions are about 2" thick and there's not much clearance on the front, but I'll check the yellow locations again.

Some scissor lift pics I found while looking into this.

Dangerous. Engine should be at the other end.

OK. Is the "channel" the red or the green stuff?

The pads on those other scissor lifts look like they're in line with the jacking points and sitting over the "channels", sill lip etc.

The OEM jack does fit in the channel.

 

I meant the same thing by channel as you did. There was some confusion because of the green arrows I used to indicate the edges of the channel/notch - see new pic.

The original green highlighted region was a different thing - I asked if that region can bear weight because
I wanted to put the pads immediately to the left and right of the red channel/notch in order to avoid potentially bending the white edges and sill lip.

I'll either use secondary pads to fit the notch and push on the red region or use the yellow circles.
