Engine Stand

[funkyhippo]

Having a blonde moment! I need to buy an engine stand for hubby & after some research they all look the same??
Do I need a particular type for an aircooled engine? Help please, any info would be great.
Many thanks
Karen :shock:

Most will work. I use the Clarke one from Machine Mart. Only uses three of the four mounts but still works fine.

They sell "vw aircooled Bench Mounted Engine Stands" on Fleabay - don't know if they are any good though.

I bought this from SGS http://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equipment/engine-stands/es1000-450kg-engine-stand" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; dead good quality, delivered next day and cheap as chips - no I don't have shares in the company - unfortunately!

Thanks Guys, I was actually looking at the Machine Mart one as I have a branch fairly close to me, the SGS one looks good as well.
