Roadster Rotisserie - Construction details.

Post by Nissanman »

Hi folks,
I'm building a rotor to mount the SP310 body [only] onto.
I plan to have the vertical orientation adjustable [slotted plate] so I can fine tune the centreline.
I going to use the two front and the two rear chassis mount holes for the frame attachment.
The pivots I'm using are actually Datsun drum brake front wheel hubs, bolted to a horizontal platform.
I have found these to be ideal for this application and very cheap to purchase [read $ZIP].
They require zero effort to rotate once the load is balanced.
Once I get it all working, I'll make the details available to anyone interested.
