Look in any HotVW mag in the multi page ads in the back and they'll be there.

i use a 4-arm P201 (factory stand) in the factory bench-clamp holder, bolted to the factory grey pillar, bolted to the concrete floor of the garage. found the whole deal on EBay.
i just don't trust the 2-arm holders with a /6, and that's all i do ... although i got a good deal it was not cheap, but then neither is a /6 falling onto the ground - or your feet... i've done too many rebuilds on work benches and card tables -- when the proper tool came along at an affordable price, i was glad to pay it. |

I got one off Ebay that uses a V8 stand as it base, very nice will hold an /6 but it wil also hold a four very well. The VW 2 arm stands can break the case around the upper bolt hole if you are not careful. don't ask (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
So the bucks you save are nothing once you bust a case. I think the guy also advertises in Excellence. Very nice and easy to work with. Here is a link to their site! Attached image(s)
