Default Flathead engine stand adapter

Does someone know how to contact the person that was offering flathead engine stands for sale on this site? I think that it was house of fab in Virginia.
Has anyone ever bought one from them? I'd like to get one.
Thanks for any and all replies.

stumphysfabworks.com. I could not find my receipt to get you and address but I thought this one came out of the mid-west.

I sent an email off to Stumpysfabworks this morning. We'll give him a bit of time and see what happens.
Tried sending something to House of Fab and there is no answer.
Thanks guys for the quick responses. Jay

I see the reference stumpys fab works. I have e-mail a number of times to the address listed on the web site. I have gotten no response. Any one know if he is still in bus and how to maybe call or contact another way.

I purchased an adapter from him not long ago. Six weeks or so. It took quite awhile for him to respond to my initial email, but when he did we completed the purchase business and he shipped the adapter and I had it lightning fast. Very nice piece.

I made one. I thought it was pretty easy. I found a piece of flat bar that was big enough and drilled one hole in it. I bolted a manifold to it and drilled the other 3 holes. I piece of water pipe fit my stand really well, so I cut it at 45* and welded it on. No big deal.

I made my own, fairly simple project. If you don't have the welding ability and/or equipment it should be easy to get a shop to weld you up one. Use an exhaust gasket or manifold for a pattern, the pipe is a 45 deg cut. Measure you engine stand for pipe diameter. One of those times it pays to have fiends with the fabrication capability!

Just Wondering if everything is OK.
I'm trying to place an order for a flathead engine stand from stumpysfabworks and there has been no answer to several email for a couple of weeks. Maybe he is busy with orders. I hope everything is well with him.
