[TR] engine stands

[Andrew Uprichard]

Thanks, Bob - I wasn't thinking.  It happens frequently these
days.............   

Rather like the time I was thinking of getting a tonneau cover for my TR3
and was then reminded it had a roll bar.......

Andrew,

I used the 1K stand for both my TR4 and TR6 engines. Didnt have the
transmissions mounted. They worked really good. Rotate etc. I also loaned it
to a friend who used it for a 200CC Ford Mustang 6 CYL with no problems.

When it came time to mount the transmission, I just hooked the engine up to
my chain-fall and then lowered the engine on a pallet where I assembled the
clutch and transmission prior to installation into the engine.

If you have your transmission mounted to the engine, how will you attach the
stand to the engine?

The attachment points are on the rear of the engine with flywheel off. 4
long bolts hold the engine to the stand.
