Anyone got any photographs of one fitted to a stand, which bolt holes do I use, I'm assuming it'll be the gearbox ones ?

Going to put my M50 engine onto my pretty new engine stand at the weekend,

Yup, gearbox ones.
I bought some special high tensile bolts to do mine, not sure if it was necessary.
EDIT: The silvery bolts holding the brackets on came with the stand. The rusty socket ended ones attaching to the block are the ones I bought for the job. I guess you could probably just use the GB ones but on my old spare M20 I had none and wanted to make sure the ones I bought were high tensile.
