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..
