    Where to get a cheap engine stand and/or crane?

    Gonna need a stand and crane soon.

    Had a quick look on ebay...

    Stands seem about £40
    Cranes into the £150+

    Any other places that you know are cheap/reasonable?

    Cheers

    How long do you need the crane for?
    They're there, in their room.

    Not too sure right now.
    I'm guesstimating a month.
    But i may be needing it again about 6 months later so hence considering buying one.
