Mounting Challenger to Auto Rotisserie

Quote:

From the pics, it looks like each arm of the rotisserie is only attached to the body by 1 bolt. Wouldn't that cause problems with movement of the body when you turn it over? How is the center of gravity with the arms in the positions pictured?

I'm not recomending 1 bolt in front, but that's how I've done it on two different cars with no problem. It's because I am too lazy and always in a hurry to make a plate that would catch both bumper bolt holes. It never moved and I transported the car twice and have spun the car round and round. Also making a plate I figured would change the center of gravity and you know we all don't like change if it's working. So I left it like is and mounted up the second car. I also did'nt want to modifiey it any more than necessary so I keep my opitions open for other cars without buying more arms from Auto Twirler.

BTW I don't feel the rear bumper bracket bolt holes are strong enough to bolt too, that's why I bolted up the rear spring hanger hole.

Are the small brackets you used for the rear mounnting welded to the arms or bolted?

Bolted...2 5/16" bolts with 1/2-13 bolt going through the frame. I did this one nite when I first got this rotisserie and did not have a welder at home. It never gave me any trouble so I left it like it was and spent my time on the car.

Mines like above with two holes and use the rear bumper bolt holes with no problem. I want put any more weight on them than the body panels, fenders, doors, trunk lid, etc...

I pretty much put mine back togeather on the spit, so it was plenty strong. When it came time for the rear springs and axle is when I took it off. It made it easier to slightly tilt the car one way or another when doing stuff.
