Rolled my Golf today..........Way Cool!!!!
This is the final rotisserie I ended up making. It is based on a SuperCheap engine stand with additional outriggers and braces.
The Cross bar picks up the bumper bar mounts, and bolts to the engine stand on the two uprights (to allow for future height adjustment)
And just when I thought removing the fuel tank was going well, I came face to face with an Ausie icon - the RedBack Spider. Overseas visitors may care to research this little charmer… after all not many venomous spiders have their own song
More to come…..

Got any specs on the metal tubing used or dimensions? I guess getting the centre of rotation right is pretty key to avoid the car flipping round quickly and getting stuck the wrong way up on the "spit" so to speak :wink:

I also like the engine stand approach - far cheaper than one of the pre built rollers and looks to do the job just as well.

The engine stand approach was inspired by a fellow rally adict, I was lucky to find nice solid ones at a good price (AU$160.00) the cross bars are 50x50x4.5 mm mild steel, the outriggers 25x50x4 (or whatever the standard measurements are locally) The bumperbar pickups are 50x50x6mm angle.
The use of the two uprights to mount the cross bar came after I tried to get the cross bar up to the full height of the spindle and had a "Darwin" moment, it really was too unstable!! Dropping it down a couple of hundred made life much easier.
