A mechanism is disclosed for providing a lateral adjustment capability for anchors used to support engines or transmissions in dynamometer test stands or the like. The mechanism is comprised of an arrangement including a housing and a cylindrical slide member, adapted to be reciprocated in a laterally extending socket formed in the housing. The position of the slide is adapted to be adjusted in the socket by virtue of a threaded engagement with a capscrew carried by the housing at one end of the socket, and is locked in any adjusted position by a pair of threaded bolts, passing through the slide and socket walls and which are advanced into one of the socket walls to squeeze together the corresponding surfaces of the socket and slide member. The housing may be fastened to an anchoring device or directly mounted to a base plate or other supporting surface. The adjustment mechanisms are also disclosed as having the capability to be stacked to provide lateral adjustment in any lateral direction and are also disclosed as being utilized in opposing pairs in which case the slide member of one of the opposed pair is allowed to float to accommodate adjustments made in the other of the opposed pair to provide such lateral adjustment.
