why does a rotary engine stand adaptor cost more than the engine stand itself? and is it worthwhile to buy the adaptor from pineapple racing?

 

I just bolt the front housing flat up to a standard engine stand "plate". I'm cheap, and it works.

I've also been known to assemble/disassemble engines working on a sturdy 5 gallon bucket, or milk crate, or a stack of old tires. As long as you have something for the front of the eccentric shaft to stick through, it'll work.

 

i bought an engine stand adapter from a guy that sells them on ebay, i think his name was scalliwag somethin. It was 45 bucks and worked pretty well.
