Engine Stand - four-wheel
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 12:48
With my engine now back where it belongs, I am finished with my engine stand (and don't have room to store it until the next rebuild in another 175,000 miles!). Available first to other forum members at £19 (half what I paid for it), before I throw it out to eBay. Collection from near Coventry (and LotusBits 
), or delivery at your cost (it's not light, but I'll work out the cheapest option via courier).
This stand has 4 wheels, essential for the Lotus engine, do NOT buy a 3-wheel stand it will fall over! Front wheels are castored, rears fixed. Engine can be rotated all the way round in 45 degree increments. The stand is in excellent condition and works perfectly, the paint on the wheels is worn but otherwise looks like new, it's even been cleaned. I'll also throw in some bolts that are long enough and the right thread for mounting a Lotus engine.
Mike Taylor (LotusBits) did advise me to make an adaptor so the engine can also be attached via the engine mount locations on the side. I didn't do this (partly due to lack of metal fabrication equipment), and didn't find this to be a problem.
