Hi,

I recently purchased a 56 11 window and have been shopping for a rotisserie.

I found this;

On eBay. Local pick up in Adelaide which is handy for me. They've been going for around 700. Looks like a pretty reasonable deal.Thoughts?

Yup - I've got one, and pretty happy with it.

Have my Ghia mounted on it, and is very easy to move around, spin, completely flip it upside down etc. Will dig up some pics from when was getting it blasted - made access to everything soooooo easy.

Only thing slight word of warning is that as they're made in China they've used Chinese spec steel... it's strong enough, just that the dimensions are different to what we use is all.

Could be a pain if you plan on making things that slot nicely into the arms etc.

Nah, not really.

Just meant had to alter my mounting plans to instead use full length rails like in the pics.

Hoist the shell up off the pan, bolt on the rails using the normal body-pan bolting points, roll the pan out, wheel the rotisserie in, bolt to the rails and all done... worked a charm !!!
