So I've finished my rotiserie and after mounting the rear bar to the bumper holes, the whole rear looks a little 'flexy'! I can grab the bar and move it up and down easily.
Did those of you who used the bumper holes reinforce anything? I built it according to drawings and advice on this forum. Conrad. |

Looks like the bolts are a smaller diameter than that tubing you are using...so there is some flex.
Also, if it was me, I would cut the tubes shorter to get closer to the body. I would also add a single steel plate to the ends of the tubes to ties them together at the body...then bolt through all of that. You are putting more stress on the whole setup the farther away from the body that you make that square tube.... Get as close as you can with the square tube... You can work on that rear panel after you remove the bracket and its on the jack stands again. Rich |
