C1 Body Off with a 4 post lift

[Mark P.]

I am planning to lift my body with my 4 post lift. The doors, trunk and deck lid will be left on the car. The hood will be removed.

I plan to attach 4 lifting straps as follows:

1. from the Driver's side upper convertible top bracket to the rear jack platform (which spans the 2 ramps of my lift)
2. from the Passenger side upper convertible top bracket to the rear jack platform
3. from the Driver's side of the radiator support brackets to the front jack platform
4. from the Passenger side of the radiator support brackets to the front jack platform

Should I also consider a large strap under the body placed under the cowl section then have that wrap around the 2 ramps silimar to this ?

Any better way I should attach my straps ?

i always lift below the doors as far ahead and back as the rocker reinforcement allows, as you can see, i try to have the car as complete as possible, been doing it this way for over 20 years and never had a problem
