Over-analyzing one mistake at a time...  Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: 29-August 15 From: Jackson, Michigan Member No.: 19,114 Region Association: Upper MidWest  |
Hey Everyone!
Am getting ready to start restoration of a '74 914 and am looking for an economical (or free! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) rotisserie near lower Michigan from someone who's done with theirs. I could probably travel 4-6 hours from south-central MI to pick up. Would prefer to reuse one vice build new (but am open-minded if none available). Any help, hints, tips and suggestions are appreciated! I have done a rotisserie search on this site. Thank you! Best regards, Chris |

For the record, I had my local metal supply quote the metal in standard lengths. They came in $1200+…. Am looking for other sources, so the project has ground to a halt.

QUOTE(CSoso @ Nov 11 2021, 05:19 PM)  For the record, I had my local metal supply quote the metal in standard lengths. They came in $1200+…. Am looking for other sources, so the project has ground to a halt. You might want to consider a bulild cart (Jeff Hail cart dimensions can be found on this site) and/or a more conventional engine stand type rotisserie. Might use less steel. I know steel and lumber went to the moon in 2021 but looking around online, that number doesn't seem correct unless you're having some oddball wall thickness quoted (0.125" is sufficient). Call Metal Mart for a quote. This is where I sourced steel from for my build cart. Good guys that I've been using for 20 years. If they are way lower, its probably worth the drive. If they come in similar, you know your local guys aren't screwing you and it's a supply chain issue. 31164 Dequindre Rd, Warren, MI 48092 @CSoso |
