I searched and couldnt find any pics of the JD2 bender stand or a copy of thire instructions. I heard a long time ago they used a square plate at the bottom for bolting it to the floor. Now I hear they just have a foot long piece of 1/2" thick straight 2" wide stock that bolts at 2 locations at the bottom of the stand. Is this enough? Does anyone have pics of how they built their stand for manual use ( I've seen the sawhorse looking stands on rollers the hydraulic guys use ) ? I lost the instructions after assembling it and need the simplest way to go that works.
PICS PLEASE + DIMENSIONS... thanks guys. I gotta get the LWB going... its so stock it hurts.

Terry, The blue spots are 3/4" holes for the two bolts on the end of the bender. Basicly you can make it how you want. I'm 6'3" so I made mine kinda high so it's comfy to bend. I used 4" flat bar for the top with two big ass gussets on the edges. Then I used 2.5 sq tube .250 wall for the down tube. For the bottom plate I used a 12x12 sq plate with 5/8's holes punches at all four corners to mount to the floor, with four gussets.
