I have an engine stand that I want to use for my 2.0 but it's not set up for it. I was told that they make an adapter for mounting VW engines that will work. Is this something a flaps would have or a VW shop?

we welded the bench type stand on the regular stand just below the the eng mount It works fine and you dont need a bench. the lower height is nice for the lower center of gravity people.

I just had a little brainstorm of sorts...
I wonder if the T-nuts from a milling machine could be used to mate up with the engine case? Can any of you people with access to a case and a milling machine see if these would work? Would be SUPER cheap solution. |
