Hi Mike,
This comes up on the list quite a bit. I too had the same concern.
Mount the fingers of the stand to a comfortable location top and bottom
using four bolts and washers as needed. I used grade 8 bolts (I think I
used two 5/16 and two 3/8). I have one of those cheapie engine stands
and it stayed on there for a couple of months with no problem. I even
bounced it a bit to make sure :-)
Good luck,
