John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Would like to borrow an engine stand for a few weeks. Probably until Christmas. John.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I’ve got one of the thirty quid style Ebay ones you can have, John, it’s just taking up room! Give away/sell/throw away when you’re sone! Its in Sandbach, Cheshire if it’s needed.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Alternatively, if you want a pukka, heavy duty style stand I've got one you’re more than welcome to borrow. (Clarke heavy duty model, takes a few hundred kilos worth of engine.)
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 Thanks Dave, It’s to hold a Zetec and type 9, which is better? John.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 If you want to hold both at the same time, then you will need to make up a mounting plate, I suspect, as most stands have arms that attach to the same bolt holes as the bell housing. The little stand was fine to hold an XE, but for a Zetec and a T9, you’d be safer with the heavy duty stand as it’s much more stable. (Big square base, with four castors, one at each corner.) This is similar, They’re rated up to 500 kg or there abouts!
Si.Dalziel Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I have one you can borrow too. held the s2000 lump easily enough.

Si.Dalziel Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Looks like this post should have been want to borrow a stand and crane. Seems @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary as my crane is going to be in use soon.

Seems @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary as my crane is going to be in use soon. It was originally just for a stand. Crane not needed yet, sorry for the confusion. Just trying to get all my ducks in a row.
Si.Dalziel Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Well I also have a crane, stand, leveller and shackles etc that your welcome to loan if they aren’t in use but you will need a big car to get the crane.

Si.Dalziel Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 The engine stand is fine to loan whenever but the crane Probably in a week or 2.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Both mine available immediately and for forseeable future, to be frank it's doing me a favour, as having them out of the way while I sort the garage at the new house out would have been handy, nut c'est la vie. 1
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 Thanks guys, really appreciate your offers. Dave, can I borrow yours please, no rush to collect, when suits you? Pm your address please. John.
