rotisserie for a 914, pics and build info needed Options

[Luke M]

Does anyone have any info and pics on how to build a rotisserie?
I found some info on the web but there's alot of different plans.
Found different ways to mount it on the 914 but looks like most use the bumper mount holes. ( some use the susp/trans mounts )
Want to build something simple yet strong to hold the 914.

I built it by buying 2 Harbor Freight 700 pound engine stands, and welding it to stock from a local steel mill.

Buy and cut up the engine stands. Pound for pound, they were cheaper then buying the stock steel. Way cheaper. And they provided lots of parts that I would have otherwise had to make.

Casters - I got the strongest ones I could from Home Depot.

The ornage areas are the engine stand, the grey areas are the steel I added in.

I ended up making about $100 when I sold it. If I had waited a week longer, I could have made $200. Damn.

I mounted it by bolting it directly to the 75-76 bumper mounts. No Problem!

It was a neat project.

I'm concerned about the stress on the longs across the the bay. I have just a little rust in the heel hole and my doors still shut fine. Being supported end to end, is the weight going to be too much?
