brian in buddina Posted 25March, 2022 Report Share Posted 25March, 2022 Wanted looking for an engine yoke or stand to fit a 2.7 aircooled motor. I’m on the Sunny Coast in Qld. Could pick up nearby Brisbane or Gold Coast. Rental, borrow with future consideration or buy. On another yoke thread is mentioned one made in the US by “Samba”. Doesn’t someone on Australia make one?

Mike, I actually didn't get to use it as I sold it to @Oldskl60 as part of a moving house firesale. I understand you have to attach it to the other crankcase half but can't say I'm an expert on this.

brian in buddina Posted 26March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 26March, 2022 I haven’t checked on shipping from the US, at this point, but I hoping there must be someone making them in Aus or has an unused one kicking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 26March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 26March, 2022 Just received a response from “Samba” builder of the Porsche specific yoke in regards to shipping costs. They are not doing international shipping or orders at this time. Anyone source another supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 26March, 2022 Report Share Posted 26March, 2022 Another way to do it, is to buy the engine support ring & use it with a standard engine stand. https://sierramadrecollection.com/Engine-Case-Holder-p27139.html https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/PELTOLMCDENG.htm?pn=PEL-TOL-MCDENG&SVSVSI=796&DID=62273 Pelican says currently unavailable. https://www.fvd.net/no-en/FVD721T319/engine-stand-support-adapter-threaded-holes-are-3-8.html https://www.carpoint.de/en/porsche-spareparts/porsche-914/year-of-construction-1970-1976/engine/adapter-engine-case-holder-for-porsche-911-65-89-964-965-993-996-997-914_2057_306 3 I bought an engine support ring & made my own engine yoke.

Oldskl60 Posted 27March, 2022 Report Share Posted 27March, 2022 Excuse the bad pic but Peter is correct. @brian in buddina I actually managed to pick up a factory Matra bench mount and yoke so I have this one available. I made a nice solid bench mount for it too so that comes with it. Send me a PM if still looking. I'm in Wynnun, Brisbane. Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
