Engine stand

I picked my engine stand up from the powder coaters today and it's looking good. Made from a redundant frame and some box profile it will make working on engines out of the frame a lot easier biggrin

Just need a couple of lengths of rod to slot in to the engine bolt locations to hold the engine and I will be away!

I got 10 TTRs lined up waiting for refurbishing (or breaking for spares) plus about the same number of engines in various states of disrepair awaiting attention so I think it will get a bit of use wink

Plus I am a sucker for tools and equipment smile

 Or - as per the new TTRs still being sold in Australasia - black biggrinbiggrin

I actually asked for it to be black but my mate who dropped it off at the powder coaters either didn't hear me, forgot or (more likely) thought it would look better in silver no

 Aah, so the black frame with the gold rims is actually a proper factory job?
