[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 132086, member: 161"] I just use two pieces of angle iron bolted through a couple of the bottom through holes in the crankcase. This gives a nice flat surface that I can clamp down to my bike lift when working on my engine. I can pump the bike lift up and down to get a comfortable working height. If I made a purpose built floor-mounted engine stand it would be another thing to fall over as I have limited work-space. Like Ron, I have put a girder above my bike lift, not meant for lifting a great weight but OK to lift and position the rolling chassis over an engine, etc. The picture shows the girder in place and I have since mounted a wire rope winch to do the lifting. The girder gives me side to side movement and I got wheels on the bike lift to give fore and aft movement. [ATTACH type="full"]39211[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
