MG Midget and Sprite General - Engine stand

Hi Can anyone recommend an engine stand for a 1275 engine please.I was thinking of waiting for a Machine Mart VAT free day and getting one from there ?
Also dumb question but how do you attach the engine to the stand I assume that you split the engine from the gearbox and then bolt the backplate to the stand.....and finally can anyone tell me where to get decent sump gaskets and seals from please Thanks Mark

I Have a machine mart one. They are a little basic in that you can only lock the engine in a few locations when spinning it.

Yes you bolt it to the block/back plate with some stepped arm thingies.

held up a Jag XK engine OK.

I had to remove the flywheel when I done the same job last week. Makes it nice to work on though!
