Well I finally received my new and correct hardware to do the assembly of the rotating engine stand from Jegs. Back story for those who don't know.....I ordered the engine stand from Jegs for about $200 and it came in all beat to hell (paint only) from the horrible packaging and POS Fedex driver who did not give a s***. I complained to Jegs about the shipment and they refunded me 50% of the price after I threatened to post the pics on social media. I really did not care about the paint scratches and chips etc.....it is a shop tool after all but I wanted to make a point. When I started to do the assembly I noticed all the hardware was grade 4.8 metric (equivalent to a grade 2 here in the USA and not really meant to hold any loads, much less a fully assembled V8 and spin it around.) I called back for bitch session #2 and they told me "go buy the hardware, and email the receipt". OK, clearly they are too lazy and too dense to correct the problem themselves so they want me to do the work. No problem, time is money. I went right to McMaster Carr and ordered everything I needed.......$87.50 with shipping, LOL. Some items had minimum orders, so be it, not my problem. I emailed the order with the shipping charges to Jegs and they credited my card for the same amount. I made sure to order grade 10.9 for all of it, and I even have a bunch of extras 
. So, in all.....paid $200 - $100 - $87.50 = $12.50 for a rotating engine stand and a bunch of extra 10.9 hardware. Did Jegs learn a lesson or fix their issues, probably not 
. Overall the quality is very poor but it won't fall apart. The main reason I chose this one was the price and that it folds down to a small footprint when not in use.
