Go and have a look at supercheap , you can most likely buy one for a smidgen more than the case of beer and then rent it out for alcohol when you're finished .

You need to make an adaptor to fit an A series to it.
I bolt it to the oil filter pad as well because the generator bracket lugs are not real strong.
I can swing the whole engine and box through 360 degrees.

Here's mine with the 1412 stroker on it-

Note the gearbox shown here is just an empty Mini K case, put on to run it on the engine dyno.

O.K. I see where I went wrong. I was trying to bolt it on at the traditional spot for a larger motor, on the back where the flywheel would be... :lol:

The Doc's looks fancy - I just drill extra holes in the plate provided and used some big nuts as spacers where required :wink:

hey wombat,

was yours the same super cheap one? cause i dont really want to have to make up a bracket cause im only really (hopefully) use it this once, did you bolt it to the actual engine block, or the housing that covers the flywheel?

Cheers

Mine is a Supercrap one - the one with two legs out the front - not the T shaped one. Got it on special for $59 I used the plate that comes with it and drilled extra holes in the right places and attached it to the same points as the Docs on the side but because I didn't reduce the plate down like the Docs I had to use some spacers to line it all up
