Tazio Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Does anyone have engine stands for a Xflow engine gathering dust they no longer need so I can carry/store my BDR during it's refurb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I looked for a vx stand with no success but found I could fit an adaptor beam to the engine and use a k series cradle. That might be an option for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 No I didn't, so if someone has a set carry cradle for a X Flow I'm buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Lowe Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I would have thought it would be quite simple to make one if you can weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Lowe Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 They seem a lot of money for what they are IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 When needs must Guy, had to have something once the engine was out, and in the scheme of things it'll jusr get swallowed up in all the other costs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Toppling over and smashed webers / inlet manifold doesnt bear thinking about! Also, makes the engine very easy to man handle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
