Question engine stand adapter plans

Does anyone have the plans for the mazdatrix style of engine stand adapter? I searched and couldn't find anything on the forum for making one yourself. I have the tools to make one so I'd prefer to build rather than buy.

I use the legs that came with the stand. All four legs. I simply remove the studs from the front plate and insert some 12mm x 1.5 in the two lower holes and 10mm x 1.25 in the upper holes. Didn't cost a dime because I the bolts were just laying around.

Hi Jeff20B, do you remember what brand of engine stand you bought? If I don't have to chop and weld an engine stand adapter then that works for me.

i thought the reason for the engine stand adapter was to move the engine away from the stand to get more room. That way u can look around the engine while assembling and have better access to everything. So is it harder to assemble an engine with it bolted staight to the stand itself? Please let me know because I was going to build an adapter too.
