I needed something to make working on Tenere engines more pleasant.
I built a simple 'conventional stand', but the design of the engine means that you can't mount it until most of the build is done.
That is, the crank and gearbox etc. have to be installed before the cases are joined.
I came up with a different way. Using an old base gasket as a template, I marked out the 4 holes needed on a piece of steel 180mm x 90mm x 10mm.
I drilled 2 x 14mm holes and 2 x 6mm holes and then welded the plate to a piece of 32mm round bar that was cross drilled at 90 degrees to take the holding pin.
Now I can mount the bare casing, turn it any way and then add the internals and the other case half.
You only need to remove the motor from the jig when you are ready to add the cylinder and head.
Below is a link to a photo album showing more detail.

Well done...
