Engine Stand Plans 999 And 900ss?

  1. Hi,

    I'm looking for some (accurate) plans to build a (table-top) engine stand for a 999 engine, if possible it would be great if it would work for a 900ss and 900ie engine also!

    Does anyone have anything to hand? - simple is best, but in alu or steel obviously.

    Appreciate it!
    Cheers
    Grant

  3. Funnily a mate just started making one on Saturday from a drawing with dimension he found on the world wide web. I'll see if he can remember where he found it.

    Basically it's a H shaped frame with two uprights with plates on that pick up on the existing threaded holes at the rear of the crankcases.
    I seem to remember the width of the crankcases he has, (ST2 engine) was 205mm.

    If you make it to fit the wider crankcases, (like the ST2 & others) then the narrower cases will also fit. You might want to use spacers & longer bolts for the narrower crankcases, but at least either version would fit.

    Just found it, https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/engine-stand-for-1995-900ss.40738/

  5. If you look at the picture in the thread above, my mate decided to use shorther up-rights & mount to the crankcase using the bolt holes lower down. You can use the 10mm engine mounting hole & the forward of the other two M8 threaded holes.

  8. I made this to support the whole bike for stripping it down. Once everything’s removed, you’re left with just the engine. Should work with all the testastretta engines.

  10. I use these for an engine stand, but they won't support a whole bike of course.

  12. Thanks Ian, that would be great. It's just the stand I need for my project.
