It is a huge benefit having the rotisserie in the shop!

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

[wheee!]

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.

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!

No issue as I am going carpet over the towers and wheel humps!

50” from floor to pivot point.




The ceiling is only 8’ so it’s tight. But it works!

[wheee!]

Sound mat complete!

Thank you very much for those measurements. Your work is a inspiration for me and my 72. Again thank you.

I know how much I hated dealing with that stuff, and that was just on doors. Wow!

[wheee!]

I am glad it’s mostly over. Still the doors to do....
