i really mean a stand so its of the bench as triumph you will answer my question if you tell me could you strip the engine down completely in the frame just holding the one centre part of the engine or are there two or three parts bolted that slide under the frame
if so i can make a template of spareframe i have and make a cantilever stand like a C

Trev,

I have a video of a mechanic at the Norton factory overhauling a water cooled engine, from what I have seen the engine cannot be overhauled when it is still in the frame. With the engine on the bench the mechanic used an old primary chain case cut so that the engine was turned on its ends and held steady to work on as its critical not to put any thrust on the ends of the rotor shafts.

Anthony's correct, I have one that was used to build alot of engines.

Just obtain a scruffy primary cover and modify to suit your taste. I can't post photos on hear anymore.

I use a workmate it is brilliant as you can clamp the lower primary section in place and also gives good access all round
