[s-cars] ?Re: Need advice re: engine stand for AAN

Dave,

I had thought that some dealer would be dumping their 5-cylinder  
parts and have a cheap adapter.  Turns out most dealers never owned  
this part.  It is elegant
looking and would be a great addition to any garage that kept an AAN  
around as a static display.  :-)

IIRC, those flywheel bolts have a thin head with allen and hex head,  
with the allen the preferred wrench, and probably necessary when  
torquing new bolts.  Eight new bolts will be needed since they are  
single-use bolts - one reason not to remove the flywheel unless  
necessary.
