Default Mounting Subaru engine onto engine stand ?

I've just pulled my WRX engine out today ready to fit the STI engine. I have a Clarke engine stand that I want to mount the engine to so I can work on it but I can't work out how to mount it to the stand

Has anyone used one of these ? Can you give me some advice on how to mount it ?

You'll need to remove the clutch, and then adjust the four arms to mate up with the two bottom studs and then fit to the gearbox bolts into the top bell housing bolts holes.

Purely financial mate. Zen rebuild would have cost me around £3500-£4000 with new turbo etc. I got an STI RA engine for just over a grand !

It will be going to them for the remap
