Will a Cessna style spring gear jack pad work?

[SkyPirate]

he probably thinks he would get in trouble for reproducing an existing item,..I give you permission to make a copy

[SkyPirate]

usually I wouldn't use cold rolled,.cold rolled hasn't got enough carbon in it,.it will twist or bend,,but at 1" OD ..it might be stout enough to hold

[SkyPirate]

its a handy tool,,if you built it to spec,..

say your flying off somewhere and have a flat tire,.if you've got the tire repair items in handle this tool is all you need,..and a stump or block of firewood or a rock etc,,you slide the step/jack point onto gear leg and put something under the handle , a stick of firewood,,rock etc,,lift the wing,,the tool slides down the leg..let pressure off ,,it holds the tire up.. when tire is repaired take a tie down strap and tie it to the item you used to hold jack/step..lift wing pull the supporting item out

[SkyPirate]

I know a man that comes on this forum that more then has the capability to make these,,and understands totally the mechanics involved,..you might ask him if he is willing to do it,.. he might tune in..Lowell? you out there?

Awesome idea. I'm still leery of lifting by the wing struts. I'm onto someone else who may build one for me. How much "bend" does yours have. In other words, how high off the floor is the one side while laying in the photo you posted?
Thanks,
