ibrakeformoose Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 Hi, Does anyone know of a stand or manufacturer that makes a stand to mount an oil cooled motor for display purposes? Cheers! Quote
Wagola Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 I need to get my engine out of the frame and on to the bench for some maintenance and a stand would be handy. Does anyone have a drawing of how to fabricate one ? cheers Quote
bluedog59 Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 If you just need something to hold it steady on the bench while you work on it have you considered making a simple wooden one ? Quote
Swiss Toni Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Not mine. Someone posted this up a while ago! 1 Quote

Swiss Toni Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 There is. I have a few! But ... they're on another 'puter, and I won't be able to get at it for a week at least. Someone else may well have what you're looking for. Quote

Someone else may well have what you're looking for. @Swiss Tonihi bud, I've tried searching for an old post on here for any details on the engine stand dimensions but it brings up 83 posts ! Looked through quite a few but no success. If you can find the other dimensions it would be appreciated. No rush. thanks Quote
Gsx1100er Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Hi mate , the hole centres are 14.5 cm up from the bottom of the base rails ( on all 4 uprights ), Gaz Quote
Wagola Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 @Bowthanks, that's the info I needed. But photo is a little blurry can you please confirm the hole diameter ? And do you know what size of box section the frame work is ? I'm guessing 25mm ? thanks again. Quote
