Does anybody have available, an engine stand adapter(so I can mount a 2.0 engine on my roll around stand) or know where I can get one in this country, without paying a fortune. Thanks Bruce

Bruce,

I borrowed Alans to copy the mount ring ( simple measure and draw). I'm just turning the ring that fixes to the cases. I will end up with two of these. Not bad for £30. They will need some additional fabrication and welding to fix on the "spider and hub part" but this is seriously easy and will only cost about £50 cash ata friedly tube manipulator.

I could send you the drawing for the parts if this route appeals?

I was quoted circa£500 from OPC and £300ish from an independant manufacturer.

Perhaps I should go into business !

I made very cheap and works fine... you can add extra strengh if you need it..

VW bench mount stand cut up abit and then a tube added and then welded to the stand.. works a treat cost...... £28 for the VW bit at a show and £35 for the stand from machine mart..

Tube was kicking about my workshop..

OK guys, I'll get a CAD drawing done and somehow get it or a link posted give me a couple of weeks. The detail will be of the adaptor ring that interfaces with the crankcase the support spider and tube to connect to your standard engince stands ( machine mart) are up to you.
