Has anyone got any of brackets I could borrow? I've looked round a breakers and none of the engines had them attached.
If not I'll just have to make some up but would rather save myself the time. Do I really need them? Surely chain bolted in will safice?

I use thick rope, or a couple of straps around the engine.

Around the crank and sump?

If the manifolds are off I Just secure a length of chain using a couple of inlet and exhaust studs and some large washers.It is better to support from the top of the engine as the weight then keeps it steady.
