Wanted. Pics of car "rotisery".

Postby Stealer Of Souls » Wed Aug 30, 2006 1:33 pm

Hey. I know a couple of you got them.

Those rotisery things for the car shell so you can flip them over to work on the bottom easily...

I hope people know what i'm on about.

Will see what I can find in my pics. Others I have seen used two engine stands with a pegged bar between them (for length adjustment) and the pivot point raised so the shell can rotate fully. As they are on wheels it makes the shell much more mobile.

My cheapy version one that a mate put together when he was rebuilding my ute before I bought it. Just a matter of mounting it up to the car (usually via bumper mounts) and your set. Can hold a surprising amount of weight but tricky to manouver around as no wheels and not linked front to rear.

Cheers guys....

They all look a lot less heavy duty than I thought they would be!
I was envisaging having to use some relatively meaty box section to make one... But if they work. I'm not gonna argue. Means less money I have to spend on steel.

Well. This is definitely a goer of a plan.
