Jacking Points
Right, Where is the best place to jack the bobcat? corner of chassis? I know that the suspension arms are a no go so where would you guys say?

Side just below the dashboard looks good - plenty of strength there I reckon.
Alternatively in-board near the engine mounts.
With our type of car you're not talking a huge amount of weight so think where the heavy bits are and jack accordingly.
HTH.

Thanks for that, what about at the rear? Corner of chassis?

Should be OK, my rule of thumb is to look for parts of the chassis which also have a vertical because that's inherently stronger.

Suspension arma are not necessarily bad If you jack near the pivots or near the shock mount.
Provisions may be needed to avoid slippage or scraping paint or finish though
Jacking near the shock mount provides the greatest lift with Te least amount of jack travel as you are effectively lifting the wheel
