The nice thing about making and adapter would be to get the weight centered.

I have found a way to center the weight without an adaptor.



Here is how to set up the arms on an engine stand to work on a rotary (two rotor). It allows access to the plugs and everything! Highly recommended and cheaper than having to buy anything. It's what I used to rebuild my first 13B.

Here's how to more or less center a 20B's weight with only two arms. The front is a tad heavier right now with the waterpump in place because the clutch disc and p plate aren't on it yet. It's still way better than just hooking to the front plate only.

I'm glad I saw this! I just printed off the phone number for harborfreight.com and pineapple racing yeaterday. I got busy earlier in the day and forgot to call and order the stand and adapter. Now I save 70 bucks!



Thanks
