Tomorrow I start cutting metal and building the rotisserie I should have had a long time ago. I'm actually quite eager to get going on this project, more than I anticipated. Not only because I've wanted a rotisserie for a long time, but also because once it's finished the 914 that's sitting on the Celette bench will go on the rotisserie. Then I can put a 66 912 project up on the bench and start building my first set of Celette fixtures. Even though they'll be for a 912, the techniques I learn will make the 914 fixtures even better.
I'll be posting pictures of my progress tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to share. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Lee, you should fix the bumper mounts FIRST, then put it on the rotisserie.
Scotty, my thoughts on attaching to the front suspension/rear suspension points is that then you're dealing with a long lever arm, and lots of weight far away from the support structure. Are you concerned about this? Or do you have plans for additional support? Maybe that 'lever arm' isn't even a problem. Just thinking out loud... Okay, pictures from yesterday. I also stopped and grabbed 16 new cutoff wheels. So I'm set for a little while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Hoping to get wheels mounted today... BTW, this is some 3" square tubing scrap I've had laying around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Attached image(s)
