Am buying a project engine for my pug 205 GTI, now how do these attach to the block and will any stand fit?

Can you also have the gearbox on at the same time?


Please help never used one of these before, and dont want to buy the wrong one, any recommendations for said engine


Cheers

The one I've got came with adjustable brackets, they can be moved about to match up to the holes on the engine where the gearbox would normally attach, then you just bolt everything up.

 

Ahh so you cant have engine and box on at the same time then

 

No just the engine. I got the 4 wheel one from machine mart for my Mi16 motor, it's around £46.

 

would i need one that manly for a lowly 1.9 gti lump

 

The 8v Xu isn't much lighter, but I got the 4 wheeled one because it's more stable than the 3 wheeled version. With my one I could undo and tighten the head bolts myself.

 

have you a link mate for the item

 

Yup,

Power Tools - Machine Mart Power Tools & Machinery

 

thanks mate

 

That's the same as the one that's holding my Golf GTi motor off the ground

 

No probs. If you haven't already 205GTIDrivers.com is well worth a look. Good info to be had in the articles and forum.

 

yeah im there mate, joined recently, theres quite a following for these motors on here too, which is handy
