That is the way I did mine last winter. For such an important step, it seems
a bit "iffy" Mine worked out OK. I was very careful with the positioning of
the struts. I used a 2" angel iron bar on the floor the clamp them too.
I only wish there was a toe-in adjustment made in the design. Some have
suggested different things, but I have not seen any built. I would like to
get better life from my tires. A toe-in adjustment might help, I think.
Good luck with all those lay-ups on the plywood braces. My back still hurts
just thinking about that job.
