Rik 0 Posted May 22, 2006 There called SPITS like what you see the chickens in Morrisons spinning round on. www.frost.co.uk sell them (not cheap) or you can make your own, i'm making one at the moment, but its just to put the car on its side, what i've done is welded a 'T' piece to a spare subframe for the front, an 'n' shaped piece of metal for the seatbelt mounting point and a sort of metal tripod to place the rear part of the chassis on. Its hard to explain.... BlackMi16 has piccys of his on its side using a similar method but using only the seatbelt mounting point, with leaving the wheels in situ.

I did some modifications to it later, so I didn't have to have the wheels there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The jack is not doing anything, not sure why it's there in the pic At the rear I just bolted the bar to the rear beam mounts (where the rubbers usually sit) a little bit dodgy, but worked ok because the car ain't heavy at the back.

Owain1602 0 Posted May 23, 2006 the £1000 pound one on the frost site seems to be what i would like but the £400 one looks good. Where abouts is the one by machine mart, i can only find the wheel dollys . cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
