Building a Rotisserie Options

[McMark]

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)

Time to build 914 fixtures since my restoration project has blossomed (see link in signature). Had this big square tube already.

Started at the body and got some 7/16" bolts that were long enough to put the attachments far away from the body to allow maximum paint access. Used some spare 1" DOM tubing for the standoffs. Welded the 7/16" washers to the end of the tubing so the bolts aren't flopping around. Cut some sections of angle iron and drilled a couple holes (held the piece up against the body at traced through the holes with a Sharpie). Bolted that all together against the body and welded the standoffs to the angle iron. The square tube was too long and I also needed the bar to go a little farther out. So I cut off the excess on either end and welded it to the angle iron, then welded the remaining tube on. The small pieces of tubing were already there, so I just left them in place. But it's already strong enough for me to stand on.
