I, too, have that dingus and plan on using it in the Fall after a last
season of driving on my old Michelins.

I was thinking I could take an old knock-off nut and machine out a
hole of a size to fit down over the post.  That, in combination with
one of the hubs would hopefully secure the wheel better.

Also, I am thinking I can extend the 'feet' using pieces of angle iron
or perhaps even 2x3s and lowering my lift onto them to hold it in
place.

Based on your hands-on experience, does that approach make sense?
