Engine Support Bar Recommendation

[mikiedreb]

Can anybody recommend a quality engine support bar that I can purchase to use for an upcoming MTX clutch job? I've seen a number of styles on EBAY....

Thanks,

Mike

A lot of people make their own. I was going to use a "pipe" version but when I watched the SHONUT clutch install video I decided to make one similar to what Josh uses. 2x12s on the sides, a couple of 2x4s between them with a few more small pieces to lend some further support. I used 4" lag screws to secure it all together. Works just fine. In fact, my Yamaha has been hanging from it for over two weeks as I write this.

I think there is a sticky of one SDPat had designed too.

Thanks for the photo, suggestions and link......I did a bit more research
and found a similar store-bought support in the "How do I" section. Due to
time constraints.....that looks like a good way to go.
