The upper brace runs along the drip rail and has a bend in it to match the bend in the rail. Because of the bend it wouldn't work flipped to the other side. You would have to rig a second set of mounting brackets and make another rail support for the other side. Possible, but not practical. On the double cab it simply ran past the end of the cab a way. And there is a lower brace as well. I'll have to PM Mike and see if he has any pics of his Dbl cab on the rig.
I get the concern about sandblasting. But I am using aircraft stripper and scraping the paint off, so the minor inconvenience is acceptable to me. This isn't going to be a show bus just a solid daily driver with a nice paint job. Nuttin' fancy.

Glad this thread popped back up, my issue is a supertight 2 car garage both width and length wise, of course I can leave one car out for side to side action but have no room to roll the "octo hoop" style back and forth ( I assume it's hard to scoot across the shop) I'm also too tight for the "end" style rotisseries (my front bumper is 4 ft from my bench). So I was real glad to see this one, wheels on the bottom and changing the side bars to allow for wheels while on it's side would be easy enough, and the lower bars don't stick out far enough to rip a shin... nice, I'm leaning Laughing this way. Johnny Fever could you tell me when the bus is leaned at a 45' angle what is the distance from floor to the highest point?, yes my garage ceiling is low too.

Well, the real purpose of the shop is making surfboards. And mannequins are a great addition to any surfboard shop. They provide such good entertainment. They (there are 2 actually) kindly model my tee shirts and hold my shaping hat and mask. Great employees.
I'll try to measure the bus on the 45 tonight. I am able to roll it in a pretty narrow space but I do kind of wish it had wheels on the flip side.

Bus height while on a 45 is right at 7 ft. to the top corner of the drip rail.

Finally got mine mounted up, and back home. I'll be starting a build thread here soon once the replacement metal starts coming in.

Rebirth - Beans (anyone else using the octagonal rotissarie)

Do these Rotissaries fit in one peice onto a Kombi or do they need to be fitted
in part to the Suspension mountings then have the 2nd part welded once in place?

I'm strugling to see it sliding on (especially in the rear) and in the first post - the octagon was cut in half.

Thanks!

Can't wait to do the job properly on the under side of the 61.

Took some time - but fun building massive rings + even more fun rolling!

Mine's made with 50mm x 50mm but only 2mm wall thickness. I was worried it would'nt hold up so I added some supports at the top like someone suggested earlier ( don't tighten them too tight mine started to dent the roof a little)

Make working on it a pleasure even though mines not got much rust it was still worth it and now can sand blast it + I think the work will be finished better.

Cheers for all the info on this thread! Cool

better to be safe than sorry, you wouldnt want this thing to collapse and smash your bus (and/or a person)


That answers my question. Guess I'm buying a 220. I assume the 220 will dial down enough to mimic the lowest setting on the 110? I have a miller 110 and would get an equivalent 220.


i use a miller 200 mig. it goes low enough for vw sheetmetal.

When not being used to turn a car body can it be used for this purpose?

Torsion spring mounting point or tranny horns.
The tranny horns probably need additional bracing if you're going to carry the entire weight of the bus.

Mine mounts on the torsion spring points.
