For the pipe you need to go to a plumbing supply place. It is the stuff that is used in gas lines and industrial water lines. You should be able to get a drop for cheap. If you don't have one of those in town then you may have to order from McMaster Carr.

Dave,
Looking to also build a rotissorie. Where did you come up with this list? And is there plans to go with it? Thanks |

Can you make this the official "How to build a rotissorie" thread for those of us who want to build one, but need a little guidance? Maybe a few pictures of the build, and notes about where you had difficulties? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

See thread on page 2 of the 914club garage.
Subject: new 914 project, 72 aubergine One914racer has a nice one displayed with his project mounted. Maybe he can guide in the construction phase of a roto914tessorie. Looks like it can be rolled and rotated around easily. |

I built one for my '69 912 restoration and I have a collection of pictures of various cars on rotissories. There are even some 914 pictures there.
Misc. Rotissorie Pictures The rotessorie that I built worked very well, but the rotation point was a little off and required two people to turn the car. My Rotessorie Pics. (IMG:http://www.britainsmith.com/Porsche/912Project/Rotesserie/images/139_3915_JPG.jpg) -Britain |

Dave,
Use the yellow pages and try calling local general welding businesses for the 2" od tube and for the Sch.40 pipe. For such a small amount of material you don't really want to deal with supply warehouses, but welding shops often sell small quantities. |

I actually PAID MONEY for those crappy Automobile Atlanta plans.
I did an improved version in AutoCAD that I may be able to PDF if there is any interest. Mine turned out nicely. Attached image(s)

Of course there is interest in an updated plan, if you cannot PDF your Autocad file, I can do it for you in a jiffy. tneffhoe@ch2m.com
