Hi, I have bought an engine stand as shown on the attached photo. The engine have to be fixed by 4 bolt using the threads where the gear box normally attaches to the engine. I am concerned that the break forces will break the alu casting on the engine. have som of you tried to mount a 907 engine in one of those stands, and if yes is there anything special I have to consider. I would really harte to damage the block :-) Best regards Kim Attachment: 15-370_l.jpg (Downloaded 143 times) |

I've had mine on the same type of stand for months and regularly move it round the Garage to make space. The 907 is a very light engine. If you want i can send a photo of how its attached. |

Try to mount it so the mount points are as far from eachother as possible and you should be fine. That reduces the pull/push on the mount points. The case is strong enough, I had one fully built hanging on the stand for quite a while without any problem. The VW boxers weight almost the same and the official engine stand only has two bolts... -- Joachim |

Thanks a lot guys, Roland11a if you can post an image it would be helpful. I guess that I have to stay away from the threads for the starter? MHV Kim |

ok will do. you can use the threaded holes for the starter if you use the correct size bolt into the exiting threads. Just remember the Lotus 907 engine is Metric |
