Yet another N400 sill topic
Discussion
I'm getting to the final leg of my sill install... Missing bracket arrived this morning... But I need a favour..
Please Could someone with N400 sills that have the factory armourfend fitted, take a photo showing its exact location..
Either side will do, but its the rear of the sill I need to see, as I want my fit to be as it would had it been fitted at the factory..
Thanks in advance....

anyone local wanna do for me?
I'm nearly there... Both fitted, all liners and undertrays cleaned and replaced, just got to clean inside all the wheels, fit the armourfend and sort out the rubber door strip....then a final polishanyone local wanna do for me?
Really pleased with the results, and I've put some fair effort into making sure every clip, screw and fastener is spot on

Luna...how did you jack it up to get the axle stands in the correct position? ie where is the jacking point other than AM's recommended ones? I think it's been mentioned before but can't find the thread. Thanks.
I used my powers to levitate the car.... Then just threw the stands under
..Basically I've got 2 identical jacks.. Low entry alloy ones..... I drive the front of the car up some low ramps, and then place a jack either side, behind the front wheels.. Push the jacks under so that the rubber pads are on the front subframe, and then jack each side a bit at a time until I can get 2 axle stands under on their lowest setting....
I position the stands on the front subframe, very close to the suspension mounting points as these are the strongest areas
Then I go to the rear of the car and this time a jack either side, in front of the rear wheels.... Jack a bit of a time until I can get some stands under....
It's trickier at the rear because to get a really good position for the stands you need the undertray off..
Then back to the front and same again, jack a little each side and raise the stands to meet the chassis...
As I said in the video...it took me an hour and a half to get the car level and secure..
I'm hoping I'll have the car back on the ground tomorrow, I'll add some photos on this thread of where I place the jacks, and where I place the stands if it'll help...
You really do have to be slow and steady to do this safely...
Jack and axle stand locations.
Front axle stand location drivers side... Use oil filter as reference... But this is very close to the front lower wishbone mounting point, and is therefore a beefed up part of the subframe....also note rubber a packing to protect chassis..
The other side axle stand is located directly opposite this one
Jack location is further back from the axle stand... But again right by the rear lower wishbone mount for strength
A the rear I jack on the rear outer subframe mounting point shown here
And axle stand located by the support bar.... You need the undertray removed to use this location.... Note more rubber to protect subframe
And finally, 1 of the 2 jacks I use..... Long and low and rated at 2 tons
