Finally found a true Clayborn in an estate sale, but it has a 37 engine in it and I only want the stand- so we'll see. But they are out there. Nice to see. If I get it you will get to check it out. Newc

I don't remember your location, i'm in sc maybe work something out on motor.

I have wanted one of those for a long time. About a year ago there was one advertised locally but it was missing the adapters, or I would have bought it. It probably wouldn't be too hard to make them, but I already have too many unfinished projects. I have two KRW stands. Both were missing their bases. I drilled the concrete and bolted one down. The other one I made my own custom base.

These are awesome. I have 2 KRW stands and 2 Clayborne stands. I much prefer the Clayborne.

I've also had an interest in getting one of these Claiborne engine stands. I have a couple of '36 LB engines that I need to tear down and rebuild, and these Clayborne stands appear to be just what I need for the job.

I really wish someone would either reproduce these or make the mounting rings and hardware since the stand can be made at from angle iron.

Can someone show what the flywheel side attachment is? What are the pieces alongside where the exhaust manifolds go? The rings look like pipe cuttoffs to me. I like how secure and stable these things look.

Here flywheel side. Nothing attaches to exhaust. The front ring appears forged with two brackets welded to it.

Maybe it's my imagination, but the stand with the blue engine appears to have a black bracket for mounting the starter?

That's the oil pan, and yes the starter does mount there on that series of flathead.

Get it. I have four of them and three KR Wilson stands. None better for working on or just storing a Flathead.

I just upgraded wheels on one of mine as they were shot. $17 set of 4 all with locks 1/2 studs rubber. Amazon. Love it will not get some for my second.

It would not be impossible to duplicate. Way better than the Chinacrapppy one that I have.
