No Bueno Dude. Have a look at the picture you posted and the one in the Bently manual. Three things stand out. First the spindly aluminum bracket in your pic is not the sturdy black crossmember in the Bently. Second is the cable restraintyou see in the Bently, is at the other end of the triangular aluminum pan piece mounted into that nice sturdy crossmember. Third id the engine is not behind that bracket ala a 911.That jack point indicated in the Bently is as stated near the "center" of the car. However like in the movie Field of dreams "if you supply a jack point they will use it, or something like that.
