Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings all, anyone interested in a 996 engine stand. One of the guys I know is going to make some similar to the Porsche one but will fit into the Clark/Sealey engine stands head? No idea of price yet but won't break the bank? Let me know of any interest so i can let him know what material he needs to order? Alasdair

POST 2Original post

Sounds interesting Alasdair, What mischief are you up to now?.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just about ready to start building up the 996 engine, just off to clean my pistons up before work. Wanting a stand so i can get the engine on it rather than falling over it so the engine cases are over at the guy who is making the stand at the moment. My old 911SC is in pieces at the moment as well as i am doing the bodywork on it to try and clear some space! Alasdair

POST 4Original post

Ah space, Ive heard about that. Estate agent said there was some in my house before I bought it, but to date I have never found it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am yet to find any in mine. I seem to keep on buying things that migrate to my loft for storage. I have 3 full 944 interiros up there at the moment and 3 sets of wheel plus 18 years worth of old motorcycle part collecting. Just as well I am building a garage with a loft..... Alasdair

POST 7Original post

Makes me laugh when I get the knock at the door trying to sell loft insulation, The crap I got up there you couldn't get any better insulation. Off Topic!.

POST 8Original post

I'd be interested - would like to know price before commiting. Thanks for opening this out to others!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Pic of the engine stand attached to my crankcase. Fit in all Clarke and Sealey stands. This is a direct copy of the OEM stand and a third of the price! He is doing them for £90 plus £10 P and P to PCGB members, £100 normally to punters.

POST 10Original post

are you going to make one for the 3.2 Carreras

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

He does one for an SC, I presume they are the same as the 915 box was universal. Alasdair

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Charles, picture of stand. PM me with your details and I can get you 1 sorted out. The 911 aircooled ones are only £60 plus £10 postage. This is for only the bracket, not the full stand. I got the blue one on Ebay last week for £40 delivered. A complete bargain as it is good for 450KGs. Alasdair
