If I were you I'd look for one locally on Craigslist before building one. I bought one that way and modified it to add jacks.
Here's a link to Robert's

Bob, here's a complete "build" thread....
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=50630
My only question at this time would be. The centerline of the "rototating head" on both ends...... has to be truly in line with each other?,or am i wrong? Center of gravity in; laymans terms- would be very close to the centerline front to back in order to keep the body from banging the 8' ceiling>.Or ?/ btw thank you for this help on rotisserys.Ps i want to be able to turn the body ...on the spit... fairly easy. bob s
thanks chevynut i really appreciate the help on my 55 bob s
Bob, the center of rotation will be pretty close to the same height on both ends with the body level. I'm not sure what you're getting at there. The center of gravity and center of rotation would be about 13" or so above the body mounts with a bare body as I recall. The body is about 74" wide so laying sideways the body would extend 37" above the center of rotation. I think you need more room than that above the body to be able to rotate it, but I don't know how much. I really don't know if you'll be able to do it in a place with an 8 foot ceiling.
The body is a little over 6 feet wide and about 4 feet tall or about 7-7 1/4 feet measured diagonally. You need to consider the height of the legs on the rotisserie which is at least 6" off the floor with small wheels. So you really only have 7 feet or so to work with. It would be really close and the rotisserie would have to be adjustable height to make it work out, imo.
