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. |

Make a plate with the holes in it to put on the outside. Run your bolts through that plate. This will distribute the load across a larger area. Also put some ;arger fender washers on the back side, for the same reason. right now you have the full weight of the car supported by a VERY small diameterof sheet metal around the holes
I am temporarily using the bumper holes to gte a job done. The next step in my rot is just what Perry said. I will be using the trans mount as the main pickup point for the rot. and from there I can tie the rear suspension in, followed by a framework under the floors. Then the front suspension can be tied into that and also be the front mount. This in effect ties the front and rear suspension together, and allows for removable posts for the rear suspension mounts. All this is to avoid the rear end sag caused the inner AND outer longs are cut out. Pics will come when I get to that point |
