  • Flywheel BAlancing/Truing Stand

    I thought I'd ask before attempting to build one or purchase elsewhere. I am looking for a flywheel truing stand or parallel rods with a base. I am looking for something a little deeper to handle rods and pistons. this is deeper than the typical Harley type stands - or at least the ones I've seen.
    anyone have one to sell ??
    thanks and stay safe,

    Build one, Dan!

    Why pay for something you may only use a few times?

    Get a big chunk of something solid for the base (maybe a box you can fill with concrete), four sturdy 'pillars" (like steel tube fence posts maybe), and then threaded rod on top so you can adjust ground rails for leveling. Its all about mass and rigidity. A sensitive stand reacts to a truck driving by..

    Gotta be 'resourceful' though, and its a little late to start hitting dumpsters.
    Although scrap is so low right now, my local scrounges don't bother coming by!
