Mine made it to Poland, Many thanks Jack.

There have been a few comments on this thread regarding drilling the tube to fit to the Clark stand. I'm a bit worried about weakening the tube. Will it be ok to drill to make it similar to the adaptor that comes with the Clark stand?

f it helps, I drilled mine for the index pin (10mm dia), and no probs at all.

Engines are 3.2's, so a lardy weight!

Please pm the cost to me.
Do you take paypal, and are these 'in stock' so to speak?
If not how long is your lead time?

Thanks,
Graham.
I'd like one of these please - again please PM me the cost or put it on here - I've got the same questions as graham - PayPal? In stock.

Thanks

Hi guys if you paypal me £70 l'll get one off to you.
My Paypal is Beetlejac72@aol.com
If you want the yoke drilled,l can do that nobother,l found when l was building aircooled engines(VW) l only used 2 positions,engine sitting vertical and horizontal and l didnt need to lock the yoke in place as the weight of the engine stopped it moving.
cheers

I think it is when you are pulling on fasteners etc the head can rotate.
I only needed horizontal and 90 degrees so two holes.

You need to be able to lock it in position when undoing (& then tightening) the cam nuts for example.

Yes indeed, those are the ones where you need to 'balance' the wrench rotation and the engine position on the stand...wear Toe-tector boots! :shock:

Actually, a hole at 60 deg is good too, esp doing this tedious task, but i did the cam nut on the bottom at this angle so the stand would not topple. so much easier on a 3.2!
