Hey guys. I bought one from ya at Stafford in April. Easy to assemble and mount engine. Your next mission, should you choose, is to add a rotator.... somehow. However, this stand works a treat. Thank you!
It is a great stand. But it isn't us that sell them :) ours is just a review. I like the idea of something that would rotate the engine, but I suspect it would make the stand a hell of a lot bigger.
A nice stand for display, storage, working on the top end, clutch, and alternator. What it is not useful for is a complete engine tear down since you can't split the cases to inspect / work on the crankshaft or transmission. A better engine stand for complete tear down would be one of the old American Honda stands that hold the engine by the upper rear engine mount with an overarm to support the engine when is is upside down.
Thanks for the feedback. I am pretty that it can be configured so that both mounts are on the bottom case, so you could split the cases. I only realised this when I started doing some other work on it. I haven't tried it yet but I am pretty sure it would work. The big benefit of this stand is that it can be used for a big variety of engines, a bespoke stand will always be a little better, but it does add cost into working on other engines.
Greetings from Tasmania Australia. As an Automotive high school teacher this little number would be a great addition to the school workshop. It looks as though they don't ship to Aus:(( so will have to make one:(( Thanks for posting.
There is a link in the description, but I notice that they are out of stock. You could try contacting the company asking when they will become available. I do hope you get sorted, I have made good use of this stand.
Interesting, if you look at the images on the manufacturers sales listing you should get a good idea if you could use it for a CX. Don't they mount from one end with a front stay so it may need some ingenuity for the CX. Good luck.
That engine looks stable and easy to access on that stand, looks a very good solution for most common engine designs. Better but not as cheap as my home made old wooden one for the Z500 engine. see my vid for that th-cam.com/video/-QMzyw4eOro/w-d-xo.html also made a cylinder head stand from wood th-cam.com/video/qUzPPiYMQBw/w-d-xo.html excellent vid and info.

Great little stand. Nice and compact to sit on your bench. Cheers 👍
Thanks, I am really pleased with it. Now thinking.. must buy more engines!!!
Glad I waited till the end for the big lift😂
Ha, I can remember a time when I wouldn't have made it look so heavy. Hope you stick around to see it being lifted off as well.
Looks like a great stand!
So far so good, I would definitely recommend picking up one of these instead of a different one for each engine you deal with. 👍

Interesting thought, I suspect making a replica is fine. Until you go into production :) Good luck with your project.
where can we buy a support like that.

How about a Honda CX 500 engine, would be alot nicer than on the floor.

Thats very interesting, can you share the link where to buy it?
Hi Gustavo, sure I can, here it is on ebay: ebay.us/ruEvbw
Good video, .... crap music .
Thanks Mike, apologies for the music, there's not many royalty-free options to work with unfortunately.

I have watched your Z500 stand vid, looks great, Rob. I was planning to make something similar when I saw this one at a show.
@@SPANNERRASH Even though i a a cheapskate i think i would have bought this before making mine.
