Re: Build Stand

Bill,

There are some recently posted pics that show my rotisserie stand on my "Kiwi scratchbuilt" build thread. http://www.gt40s.com/ubbthreads/show...0/page/0#60898

It certainly makes working on everything much easier. The pivot was just made up from bits of pipe that were lying around that we machined to a nice slip fit inside each other. The legs and casters also utilised bits that we already had. The bed was made from 4"x2" that I purchased new and we milled the ends so everything was dead square before we welded it up. All lengths for the bed were accurately milled to +or- 0.2mm (or for the non metricated about .008"). The diagonals on the bed are within 0.5mm (or .020"). this makes it very easy for lining things up and getting them dead square when building a chassis.

Hope this is of some help.

Regards
