The 'E' Type Forum

Hi, has anyone got an 6 cyl engine stand I can borrow or with charity donation. Looking for the type the secures on a side not the bell housing end. Thanks in anticipation ..Pat

I have a two sided "frame" engine stand which allow the engine to be turned through 360 degrees which is for sale. Easily strong enough for a Jaguar engine and adjustable in width for bigger units. Send me a PM if interested....I am in South West London.

Pm sent.

If you were thinking of this type

then the prototype that SNGB used to base their production from is somewhere floating around the UK, and I can probably arrange for you to borrow it.



How long do you need it for ?

Many thanks, probably a month or so. Where abouts are you, or it and I will collect. Thanks

Hi, any update?

See my PM.

Rory, should it become available in 2024 when I hope to tackle my OTS engine I’d be pleased to borrow it for a suitable donation or even buy it to then loan out to others on the forum.

Nothing in pm’s?

Made an engine cradle adapter. It’s not a new idea but changed slightly in that I’ve used 4 small plates to bolt the engine cradle bracket as I didn’t have any 60 mm thick walled pipe.

That's a very good bit of lateral thinking, Pat.



I wish it had been my idea, it's a much better approach to the problem.

I’m but standing on the shoulders of giants. Credit must go to the originator.

Now being used in earnest
