I have seen the ones listed at various sites, but am not
really interested in spending $800+ for something I will use once. Does
anyone in the eastern Pa area have one for sale or any idea of a reasonable
substitute so I can safely work the underside of the tub.
TIA
I don't know the sites offhand that illustrate this, but he spridget guys
have used two engine stands, one for each end, with an angle iron adapter to
bolt to the bumper mounts at each end. There's also a few that made a plywood
and two by four octagon for each end and bolted it to the same bumper mounts.
The octagon was 5 or 6 feet tall, and allowed 8 aspects for work on the
tubs.
The engine stands are usually under $150 on sale, you probably already have
one, and you don't need the most heavy duty for a tub.
One fellow, again for a Spridget, just mounted a 4x4 upright in his shop,
from floor to rafter, ran a bolt through the middle of it at the appropriate
height, and bolted his angle iron to that. This idea kind of limits where you
can put the tub, but is probably the cheapest of all.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
