I borrowed Brad's rotisserie for a paint job. HOLY CRAP!!!! I highly recommend everyone who's doing a restoration to build one. It makes working on a 914 so much easier. It's a whole new world.

I have one for the bugs, I could make it fit a teen easy, but my ride doesn't need it.

That rotisserie will have seen 3 9146's in less than six months when Gints goes up in the next 30 days or so.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif) Brad: From the picture the two ends of the rotisserie do not appear to be connected? Is this right? My concern is about the stability of the unit, especially if you are moving the car. I have seriously considered building a rotisserie because none of the body shops I have consulted with have or use one. You know, I want that factory look with correct painting inside, under, wheel wells, ect. all the typical lawyer anal retentive attention to details. So, how did you build this thing? I assume each end mounts to the holes for the front and rear bumpers? If this can be done for a cost effective price, I'm game.

Guys,
A rottiserie is nothing more than two engine stands with brackets. You really should tie the two stands together for moving etc...a simple piece of square tubing bolting the two stands together will work great. William, I am sure Chris could make up the bumper brackets for your car that would fit a standard engine stand..talk to him about sending your car back with them attached. Engine stands all have the same size tube for mounting the bar to the stand. (Me thinks) R Rich |

The two ends are not connected right now, but can be. We've been spinning the car all day and there are absolutely no stability issues. The rotisserie has wheels on it and if you were going to roll it around you would need to tie the ends together for stability. If Brad doesn't mind, I'll take some measurements of his rotisserie and post them. Engine stands are too short out of the box, but give a pretty good starting point.

I have been planning to build/use a rotisserie for my car and have collected a series of pictures illustrating different methods.

Mark,
k Kewl!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) That's my car on the rotisserie! Just noticed something. There should be a 10' threaded rod that goes between the two stands. There are tabs near the center wheels to connect this rod to. It holds the stands together at the bottom. (I noticed that this was missing in the picture). It will be a lot more stable while moving it around if this rod is connected. Brad should have it somewhere. Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) If you're worried about it falling off, then don't be. It's very secure as it is and has seen countless revolutions already. The connecting rod is only necessary when you'll be rolling the whole assembly around the shop, which we are not. If we need to roll it around we will definately put in the bar. To reiterate, the rotisserie is secure while stationary without the connecting bar. Your car got the first coat of metal etch, sealing primer yesterday to stop the rust that was beginning to form. |
