The side jacking points on the last few cars I've had are under the
sills, there's always a seam there and if I use a block of wood with my
trolley jack the wood usually splits.

Should I forget the wood? Or use a harder wood? Or use a much thicker
piece of soft wood? Or cut out a channel for the seam?

trolley jack on sill seams are a no-no. On fords they get fucked and rusty
by doing that....

To be fair, Ford sill seams don't need any assistance when it comes to
rotting away to nothing very quickly.

(Saw a V-plate Ka yesterday with rotten seams between the sills and the
floor panels and rear 3/4 panels rotting on the leading edge into the
door shut - that's absolutely unforgivable on a car of that age)
