Hi Tim, I got one of those stands too, and was a bit less than thrilled to
discover that one of the black bracket bolts somehow didn't go through the
thread cutting process. That's right, it's a bolt without a thread. So the
notion struck me of tossing all the bolts and getting some good Grade 5 bolts
to use instead... And no, I don't know yet if my spare GT6 engine will fit
on the stand - it's behind the Porsche engine in the line...
