It's been a while since these were available, but after a recent few posts on the subject, I am getting a small run of these made.

Based on my modified design which allows easier rotation of an attached unit.

£25 + VAT & Shipping

Pre-order an Engine Stand Adaptor here.

Estimated availability is 2-3 weeks, hopefully the first batch will be available for Mini in the Park (Santapod)

The alternator mount ( hence why not appropriate for MPi's )

I have hung complete engines off these with no difficulty.

Production and steel costs have made these uneconomical to manufacture, unless you fancy paying £75+vat a unit, and that's having to make 20+ to keep the prices down...

 

The other option is to use cheap, thin steel and then you run the risk of your engine falling off the stand.

Plan B then (although I don't know what that is)

 

I don't fancy a block falling off the stand onto my foot. I imagine the damage would be permanent

Can you send me the dimensions and I can see if I can one knocked up.

 

Does it fit to the A series with the dynamo mount too?
