I'm sure Robert Wooldridge is long since dead and buried, but he was a tough old coot. Might come back and give you a thumping. That's his car. His garage, his jack stand, before I bought the car. Your attempts are feeble, you're an embarrassment to yourself. I take better and more productive craps than you are worth.
Why you want to "poke the bear" is just feeble.
I should know better than to try to match wits with a half wit.
Now to our original poster, there's a gentleman in Arizona (Arizona Mini Owners) that makes and sells a custom wooden jack pad that fits under/into the front subframe. Nice set up. You can find AMO on Facebook.

I wouldn't use the original hacking points...even as a last resort. If you've trouble getting clearance to put your Jack under the car, then try running it up into some 6x2 Boards. I always try to get the trolley Jack onto the Flat section of the Front Subbie where the bottom control arm is anchored. Lots of strength there. An alternative is jacking it up where the Lower Tie Rod is located, right at the front. Very easy to lift it there With a Trolley Jack. Jacking the rear I try to get it on the Subbie close to the Radius Arm.

Turn your caps lock off man...wow
Whay can't you use the sub frame ( you shouldn't ever use the "oil pan" anyway ). If you have the original jack, you could use the original location under the door ( last resort if you're not sure of rust condition )
