Engine Stand

[liljohn_92]

howdy crew it's been a while :ballchain: I've started lurking around here again.

I have designed a bench stand for my pitbike engine to make it easier to work on, It mounts up with the 4 pegmount bolts. Only downfall is you cant split the cases with the engine on the stand, I will hopefully be building it this week

The stand will be made with either 20x20 or 25x25 box and the top plate will be 3mm thick.
anyway what do you guys reckon of this design?
The drawings aren't in dimension, That would be too much effort...

Ive seen someone with a peg mount setup before they use it to work on project bikes and had a few , post mounted to a car wheel bellow and allowed him to mount a bike about waste height via the pegs..

I just brought a premade mount for working on my engines it allows you to have it on its sidem back or peg mounts down.. works a treat and allows for split cases due to its design

I've gotta say that's a nice stand, But for the price i'd rather make 1.

Thats what Hillz said but once you work out the materials required and time vs labour value its cheaper to buy it

Whered you pick that one up from?
