I finally got the Ghia off the body trolley and onto the rotisserie. Unfortunately I think I got the center of gravity wrong as it's still heavy to spin around. Tomorrow's job - to raise it up Smile

there is quite a bit of deflection because of the long cantilever, but I promise it's not quite as bad as this picture makes it look.

take 2. That rear cantilever really wasn't nice.

Unfortunately moving the rear pivot inboard wasn't what I wanted to do, as it takes a lot of the rotation out of the stand, but it is so much more stable and safer. I took 600mm off the rear cantilever and raised the whole lot 150mm. Still a bit heavy to move but so much better overall.
