I went to harbor freight, bought their cheap one (750 lb one, I think) and
simply bolted the center housing side holes beneath exhaust port through the
mounting plate arms, (looked more like an X to me) since they swiveled
around and lined up. Worked well.enough. I was going to make a plate to bolt
on to the engine with an 8 inch pipe to fit the stand but found out I didn't
have to. Wait until you get it, hoist it up to proper height, remove exhaust
header, shield, etc., if necessary, and see if you can't find something to
bolt it to. You will probably get lucky like I did. I am sure I am not the
only one. Scott is probably the man who knows more about these things and
fitting them in a shoe box than most. <g> Someday, I might even actually be
able to finish that other one or two percent to where I can follow in his
foot steps on the last two or three percent. It is that last 5 or 6 percent
that takes 80 or 90 % of the time, isn't it?
