"Going out on a limb here, I'm guessing that Rich, Stu and Zach are using a rotisserie that has 2 stands with 2 legs and 2 casters each."
Honestly I have never used a rotisserie, but have planned on one in the future. However, I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.....;-) The issue that scares me is if the rear wheels are too close (in the vertical plane) to the mounting surface on the bumper, then the tipping moment of one stand (when you push it across concrete joints or rocks....) could be enough to torque the mount points to failure. I picture crashing down....:-( In this pic: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-7629-1294105199.jpg) See, if you pushed the car directly forward, and the front two wheels hit the crack in the concrete, that would apply a huge torque to the mounting bolts in the bumper. Now admitted, we dont go pushing these things around while working under them, but I cant stand crawling around anything with a welding hood on that I cannot trust 150%. If you just throw that extra support in that bridges the two stands, you could roll it down the street. Stu |
