I think the double ended finger mount/adapters are common for 'generic' stands. I googles how to attach the 235 to the 1k HF stand and did what they did.
I used Grade 8 bolts and some washers/nuts. Once you do it it's very easy to see how the fingers work.
The mount plate would be quicker if you had to work throught a lot of common bell housing fit motors... but the in the end the fingers work and will fit many more motors.
The last time I turned my 235 (after all the bearing caps were in place) was I put the handle on and actually turned from the front. Lift up on the motor a bit and roll it over. Most of the resistance seems to be from the rear pivot. Still sucked, but was easier.
