Are either of those spots where I highlighted (if it is, I'd guess I referred to B)
How do I identify these points A and B?
(my knowledge of terminology and under-car geography lets me down!)
Actually, might try with something like a thin book/paperback in between? More "give" than timber, but still protecting the metal surfaces

Where would I find B?A is your number 1

I think it's a poor idea using axle stands as they are, with the car sitting on a thin metal sill edge, it's not exactly the best for stability, regardless of whether the sill edge bends or not. And it can pop the front wing out of alignment.
How would you use the steel?Hardwood, slot cut cross grain.
If I was doing it again, I would use a bit of 41x41 unistrut, steel
How would you use the steel?

I like something solid underneath just incase. Especially when heaving at something stuck.
I'd be checking for a stuck caliper on the side that has little wear. Do the discs look in equal condition both sides?
