MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
Hi All,
What do you do with your rotisserie after you finish your project? Pay if forward I say. I debating a chasis off restoration. I have to get the car strong enough to put it on a jig first. Driver side rails and floor almost in. Then passenger, then if I can get a rotisserie I'll do the job right. If you know of any BBQ units for a MGB I'd be greatful. I'm out near Worcester Massachusetts.
I think Jack Austin (Twigworker) had a nice jig made from a couple of engine hoists. PM him for plans. If you have welding capabilities, he can show you how to make a very nice one without breaking the bank...

Is this what you want?
Very easy to make if you like i will give you the sizes.
This looks great. How do you think it would cost to build it?
You need about 35ft od 2" x 2" x 1/8" i can buy this for CDN$4.50/ft you will also need some round tube and angle. Very easy to make well it was for me. cost should be no more then $250.00.
Check with your local British car clubs. Maybe someone has finished with theirs and would be willing to sell.
Made from engine stands and scraps, note: the wheel base could be wider, extra vertical support

Brandt, Do an ebay advanced search for a white B in NY state. A friend sent it to me for some reason. I think as a joke as the car is a real rustbucket. It is a no reserve auction and beleive it or not was a $ 0.01 a few hours ago. But the car came with a rotisserie. Let us know how you make out as you can't beat that price.

Look on this web site in the library section. It's called a rotator.
