Engine stand

Post by nickbawt » Sat Aug 02, 2014 4:58 pm

Hey Guys,

Has anyone made up their own engine stand/cradle to use while the engines out of the frame? Are there any available to buy? Got any pics? Cant find anything out there.

Looking for something like this but for the Nc30: http://tyga-performance.com/site/produc ... ts_id=3262

I needed to turn mine up side down for a while to split the cases and do the gearbox and didn't want it unstable on the bench so I just made a frame that mounted to the engine mounts, can fish out a picture if you like.

Cheers

If you can find some pics that'd be great, just trying to get some inspiration.

Cheers
