Yep. Get a cheapo at Harbor Freight, take it and a set of cases to the welding shop and have them fab one up for you.

Got one of those too. Nice thing about the Kz and Zx11 engines (the only two I had in that stand) is you can flip them up side down and split the cases. Matter of fact you can split the cases on a Zx11 without tearing apart the topend. Makes it nice to rotate whatever side you're working on to be on the top.

That's the ticket! I had a friend weld mine up for me. I measured and cut the pieces of flat bar that came with the stand, and helped hold while he tacked it together. It works great!
