That must leave the crossbar of the H trapped between the axle stands. So I'll have to lift the tank slightly off one stand, slide the crossbar over it, then lower the tank onto the stand again.

You mean cut the crossbar off the H, then bolt it back on again?

I got it on eBay in 2016. Here's the seller's page (no items listed at present) - https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...rchInterval=30. It's much heavier duty than the MGR one (3mm steel iirc).

The exhaust will already be lowered to get the subframe off though.
