Flexibledoor - April 29th, 2015 at 04:13 PM

Looking to buy an engine stand to hold a type 1 motor. need it for rebuilding the current enging so its only a one time use for the stand. If you're not willing to part with it rental may be an option?

Would you want a bench mounted one or a big stand on wheels?

(may help finding one... sorry i cant help)

Would prefer roller stand, however I could get away with a bench mount if needed. Found the mounting head for one on ebay from the states so might be able to combine it with a local bought floor stand

Lindsay Smith in NSW used to make them. Back in 2010, his email address was - almetal@iinet.net.au. Good product

When do you need one and how long for?

I have a bench mount unit in Taree. PM if interested

would only need for a month tops. Its only to make life easier putting the barrels and heads back on once everything is repaired and cleaned up. Spent enough time rolling around on the ground already.

Grumble, can you give me a rough weight and dimensions so I can see what shipping to Melb would cost?
