For anyone using a rotisserie for thier 914, what is the most assembled 914 one has put on it?
suspension ? doors and lids? glass? this is also with the assumption the motor and transmission is always removed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

If you didn't take the motor out, when you flipped the car over it would make changing the oil real easy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Look up the capacity on the TWO engine stands that 99% of the kits use. I'm guessing 1500lbs total.

Well Im planning on getting myself a gift, post holiday ...a rotisserie. The restoration of the 74 has stalled of late and Dave Hunts efforts are making me feel worthless an weak! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
I stopped by a local FLAPS and spotted a display stand that (x2) was near PERFECT for the job, unlike the eng. stand solution. Contacted the manufacture and struck a deal. So heres the idea, this is a call out to the NW club contigent. Ill hopfully be done with this work .. by summer, but I wont need or have the room for the Rot. after the fact. Is there enough intrest that this could be passed around the club members? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) How about enough intrest to assist me with with some welding ?

I put a fully dress car onto my homemade rotisserie minus engine and trans.
Then I took the various parts off when it was in the air, suspension, doors, hoods. I then gave my rotisserie to another member on this board after I was done. Maybe he can also chime in on what he did. Morgan you out there? |

Heres a pic of one stand. One nice thing is the upright unbolts.

You'll have to raise that somehow. It looks low. Nice though. I like the wide base.

It's going to be mighty hard to rotate the car with the square tubing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That was my point about the uprights unbolting, I can replace them with the "correct" uprights fairly easily.
