Engine stand chair

[pedrobedro]

I'm almost at the stage where I want to start stripping my scooter engine to refresh some of the parts and I was looking at some handy stands to do the job without rolling it round the bench. I had a look round my scrap and came up with something that should do the job nicely, one old chair frame, some angle and box section. It can stand up or lie on it's side for all round access and isn't too heavy to lift and move around.

Nice job there PB.
looks like your engine has toothache!

what scooter is it out of?

stand is a good idea. i made a similar thing once from a length of tube across 2 work mate's and then a few bits of flat bar welded on to bolt the engine to

yours looks a stronger sturdier frame than mine did

good luck with it all

It's a Lambretta Li150, gradually going back together. It's more of a headache than a toothache

Nice.

I see many scooters sat at the side of the road, on my travels! And then it dawned on me why they have little engines in them!

It's so they are easier to push

That's why my other bike is a Honda 900 Hornet This is a project, we have to have them don't we and it will be a lot easier to push than a Land Rover
