I made one years ago by simply turning a front suspension strut upside down and welding some legs on it, a bolt through the caliper mounting hole into the disc locks it, my lotus / kent mounting bracket is made out of an old engine mount modified to bolt on the wheel studs.

Thanks, I just realized that I missed one important part of the multi purpose
engine stand, the bottom of the rig can be easily converted into a floor dolly
to put the elan body on, I've just updated that item

If you used scaffold poles for the long rods of your Body Rotisserie, you could weld or bolt clamps onto the end portions, then the whole lot could be easily dismantled for storing and you could easily adjust the length for longer bodies.
