Engine stand?
Hi,
I was reading through the latest Super Cheap catalogue sale starts 05/03/08 and I was wondering if anyone knew if the engine stand that is in there
would fit a type 1 engine?
The stand is on page 10 and is $57 item code is PLU110319.
I've measured the bolt holes in the engine and will head out but just wondered if anyone knew because the people in the store won't have any
idea.
Hope you can help.

I've got a couple of the engine stands from Hare & Forbes at Nth Parra. I paid $65 ea - but they have their annual sale this weekend. I think
they are $55 this weekend. They adjust to fit anything - you just need to get the right length bolts (try Lee Bros in Dunlop St).
I'm using both my stands as a car rotisserie atm

I have an engine stand head for VW engines which should fit the hole in the Hafco stand. Give me a call if you are interested as you are "just down
the road"!

Thanks guys, I think I'll check out the Hare & Forbes place at North Parra tomorrow. I've been meaning to get into there for ages so this gives
me a good excuse.
Any idea what the size bolts are I'll need to ask for at Lee Bros?

Ha Ha Ha, I thought I was the only one that used engine stands as a car rotisserie....
It is as it is - If you didnt enjoy today, you've missed the opportunity.

Just wanted to say thanks to Dallas for the engine stand. It's great to be able to get the engine up off the floor and be able to wheel it around the
garage.
Thanks again for the stand and the oil changing piece you threw in.
