I bet you could make a set of four using a triangle of 3/4" plywood and 3
castors for each wheel. All you have to do is put something around the edge
so that the car doesn't roll off. As far as the jack goes, I have a heavy
duty jack but the steel wheels don't roll very well so it is very difficult
to mover the car while it's up.

Subject: Wheelie Deelies
I have found that I can fit the new Alpine into our garage if I turn it
sideways and push it up against the rear wall. Moss Motors carries these
neat "wheelie deelies" which are low to the ground with four swivle wheels
on each corner. The idea is that you put them under the wheels of car so
that you can move it around like that. Unfortunately, they want $200 per
pair.
Any suggestions on other sources? I presume you get what you pay for and
cheaper ones might not last very long under the weight of the car.
If I use a strong enough, big enough floor jack, well-placed, is it
possible to move the car sideways? I know I could never do that with my
little floor jack.
Thanks.
Jay
