Does anyone know where I can find a template with measurements so I can make an adapter for rotary engines for my engine stand?

I know Mazdatrix sells a rotary stand, but I'm sure if they'll give up the dimensions. Call and see.

Just take the arms off and bolt the engine directly to the engine stand's plate (it has to be the kind with two of the slots in line with each other) using the accessory holes/studs on the sparkplug side of the front side housing. (NOT the front cover )

Peejay,

would you (or anyone here) happen to have a picture of this?
I want to get a new stand, and am not sure how it looks and bolts up.

Thanks Max,

But that looks like a regular engine stand with the Rotary Adapter on it.
According to PeeJay, you can use a "regular" engine stand by only using the side mounting plates.

I am looking for a picture of that...

I have a pic of it somewhere on the forum... not a very good one tho.
