Stevo Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 This stand should be ok for an NA engine shouldn't it? Can't imagine it weighing more than 300kg? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Engine-Gearbox-Transmission-Quality-Swivel-Head-Mount-Support-Stand-450Kg-1000lb-/310677400419?pt=UK_Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item4855d0eb63#ht_3618wt_1141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Easily mate. Mine is only rated to that and it's taken the weight with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 From what i can see a tt engine without intake and turbos is 280 kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Excellent - I'll get that bought today then. What bolts are needed to afix the engine to the stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'd wait till you get the stand as you'll need to measure the length of the tubes on it. Possibly get HT all thread and make your own, think you need M12 X 1.25 but check that thread size as im not 100 % Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cheers for that mate - will hang fire 'til it arrives then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
