I'm going to fabricate a jack stand to lift my RV7A on the strut where the main wheel attaches. I'm planning to use a double eylet 1/4" steel cable from Dayton with an advertised lifting strength of 1300#. Hopefully I'll have enough room (working around brake lines) to attach a heavy band clamp to prevent the cable from slipping up the strut when lifting.
Question is: has anyone used a 1/4" twisted steel cable in this manner and/or do you consider it to be strong enough for this job? Any suggestions or modifications?
