Totally agree. I want to go to sleep at night knowing that the engine on the stand will be in the same position the next morning. A bit of bracing goes a long way in this area, just make sure that it does not block you from rotating the engine in various positions.

Hi... how did you attach the yoke? The Harbor Freight stand I'm looking at is this one...
but I can't tell how the Yoke is supposed to attach to this engine stand??

You remove the black brackets in that photo and slide the P201 in to the hole at the top of the stand. Keep the black tube handle for rotating the engine and preventing the 201 from sliding out.
