Viento jacking points

Does anyone know the best place to jack a Viento up?

I don't think that there are any official places to do it, but I always jack mine at a point where there is a vertical chassis member, rather than mid way between two welds. Also, I tend to use a fairly thick block of wood to spread the load. I may be being over cautious, but I would rather not have the pain of having to straighten the chassis, or the bigger pain of it collapsing on me.

If I need to lift the back end, I use my engine crane and a load strap around the roll bar and then slide ramps with wood on under the chassis just forward of the rear wheels (being careful not to put them under where the seat bolts come through).
