Thread: An interesting device for working on a car

Or if you own a series you can just push it on its side...


...but seriously - that thing looks brilliant! Would be very handy!

Must be $$$$?

The only issue I can see is that it bolts to the hubs, so you cannot do any work on the axles.

That means it would only be useful for gearbox or exhaust work. (or underbody resto work as mentioned.)

A hoist would be better.

A near neighbour has built a two piece device like two oversized engine stands. Bolt one up to each end of the car and rotate to whatever position you want. It is on castors so it can be easily moved around or stored away from the work area. He calls it "the rotisserie" and last time I saw it he had an EH panel van on it.

I recall that some Morris cars had a hole right through them so they could be rotisseried. Was it the 1100/1300/1500/1800 FWD series?

1949 onward Minors had the hole for the Rotodip process.
I just do as Shonky does. A tyre or two to protect the delicate bits then on it's side it goes .
