Hi cant seem to find in any diagrams, what are the jacking points reinforced to ?
surely there must be some strengthening in the glass fibre somewhere
Thanks

Big steel box section bonded into the tub. Often badly corroded
Search the forum for "outriggers".

Have a read here. There are some good photo's and descriptions

The jacking points are where the outriggers, sills and A or B posts meet, all made of steel box section.

As said above, plenty of info on repairs when the dreaded rust attacks these bits.

Also look at the parts catalogue (in Manuals): always a good source of what something looks like.
