Aaron Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 If you've ever tried to mount a rotary to a typical engine stand, you've discovered it don't work well. You need to attach the engine stand to the Front cover to make assembly/dissasembly a snap. These sell for like 60-90 bucks which bugs me. It's a frickin piece of steel, this sort of thing can be made by hand by any shop in 5 minutes and the material would cost $15.00 at most So I built my own. I used a 3' long piece of angle iron, cut into 4 pieces. The pieces are nested together to form an upside-down lowercase letter "h" If you have access to a welder, you can weld this up, or if you're like me you can use two bolts to hold it all together. This adapter has some spring in it- it moves a bit when I stand on it with the engine attached, but it seems pretty safe so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
