I don't know how proficient with fabrication you are, but here's an idea: get an old tranny, preferably a 12V one that will fit a 200mm flywheel in it. It doesn't matter how destroyed the gears themselves are (one with a junked reverse is a good candidate :-). Remove everything from the tranny case and set aside/dispose. Include in that pile the nosecone and the intermediate gear housing, so all you have left is the bellhousing and differential carrier case piece. Then, make a stand from steel stock to hold the empty case in the air. Some easy mounting places are the rear tranny mounts and/or the studs that used to hold on the side covers. Put some rubber pads at the four corners of the stand to isolate vibration from the ground and you're done! You probably can make one for less cash that is better than the one you've been waiting on RMMW for... I plan to do the same thing in the not-too-distant future.
