Default RE: Test Stand

kwblake, I use a B&D work mate, and I have Made a folding shelf under the top. I have installed 3 12v dry cell batteries into a little playmate cooler and installed 2  9/16's bolts and nut on the top side ran wires to. Its heavy but last all week long with out charge.

I took 2 pieces of deck boards and drilled pilot holes in them then I use Sheetrock screws to hold the engines down. One end is for small, the other for large. I use 2 "C" clamps to hold the boards down to the mate, plus if you are tuning pipes, the clamp is a great securing spot for the pipe. I have a piece of foam to set the tank on and a bungee to secure it with.

When I test, the battery box goes on the on the bottom shelf the leads for the starter runs under neath for safety. Its at a good height to boot! It works for me. I hope it gives you some help.
