Me too - Every time i think i have found the perfect model I think of a job which couldn't be completed in the stand but this looks just the ticket

Didn't want to be the first to ask... But as everyone else is saying. I think it would be a best seller. Its fantastic!

i work at a small engineering firm working specialising in stainless steel,things will be quite after xmas,could give you a price for 5,10 or whatever,they would be the dogs b@11@x in stainless,and maybe not as expensive as you would think,cheaper mild steel powder coated,or cheaper mild steel painted,end of day price would be deciding factor if people would want them.cheers all.

those of us who have little space to work with appreciate this even more, as there is no way you can misplace the engine around the bench. So the bench remains always "free" to leave your tools at... Suposedly, not me as I am a mess of a worker!

They look great with the engine able to rotate 360 with out moving the stand.
It was in Scootering April 2011 but I cant find the issue at home

Don't worry I'm sure if we all wait long enough Scoots RS will be making these and charging more for them

In the next edition of new Jetset, I describe how to make just such an engine stand, with photos and drawings to assist you.
Yes, it is invaluable bit of kit, not least because it liberates space on the bench.

The Jockeys one doesn't look too good for doing top end work.
