Default Engine testing stand idea

Hello; My son finally took down our sattelite dish, that left me with a few quarter inch thick aluminum plates, the ones that hold the big eight foot ribs together. I took one of the plates into my shop and thought what a good engine testing stand it would make. Here's the result. I know that I haven't drilled the mounting holes yet.

The centre has a pole mount that I can clamp in a workmate or just stick on a pole, The tank a\can be elastic banded (excuse the technical terms) to the centre, and the throttle wire Z-bended on (more technical terms) to poke out the other side.

I have another one that I will start cutting on for other engines that I have, what do you think? How can I improve on this idea?
