November 22, 20177 yr comment_535625 I am getting ready to build a rotisserie may I ask on your rotisserie what the distance is from the top of your horizontal front/rear to the lower side of the pivot? Are you using the bumper mounts at both ends? Any drop from the pivot or just straight? Thank you Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=136#findComment-535625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 23, 20177 yr Author comment_535633 This is a dead simple rotisserie. No drop or balance, just a welded angle iron beast bolted to the bumper mounts. Front is bolted to the 76 shock mounts and the rear is bolted to the bottom valance bumper mounts as used by the 240’s. I welded in the openings from the rear bumper shock mounts. I will get some measurements for you.

November 23, 20177 yr comment_535683 Looking great! Hopefully you won't have any issues with the vinyl kit over those rear shock towers, mine were so tight that I ripped one and I didn't have any sound deadening material on them. Hope all is well!
