Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi Guys

Can anyone recommend an engine stand that will work on a beetle engine without having to be modified.

Last few overhauls I was younger and more flexible and did it on a beer crate, but I'm getting soft and would like to do it easier.

Hello,

today also in Germany only universal stand are available:

or some brackets to build your own stand or fix it at a workbench:

It looks like the market for it has shrunk...

Decades ago I get my one (rollable/rotatable/demountable) from CSP and used it for my type 1 and 4 engine restorations:

Do you have a perhaps have a picture of your engine stand ?

So far I stripped everything on my beer crate again, but assembly would be nice on an engine stand.

I cut off the bellhousing of an old gearbox and fixed it to some scrap frame that I modified a bit:
