Hi all - just started some volunteering at a military museum. We have a few wheeled vehicles that have been sat outside for many years and tyres in particular are suffering. Considering fabricating some stands to reduce weight on tyres (the vehicles are static displays). Initially for Saracen, Saladin, Ferret, Pig.
Is there any info on safe jacking/support points?
The Saracen/Saladin/Ferret have flat underside - but I'm not sure how strong. Could I use stands here as long as load is spread width of underside?
Any suggestions for general tyre protection (e.g. coating to stop UV damage, cracking etc)?
Thanks in advance
