Default need to make a spit?

for the frst.

Anyone got any spec's of one?

I can get the box section and get it welded so that's no problem i just need a design/spec sheet to work from?

Anyone got any?

Yeah well sort of just a bit more sturdy as it's rotten as fuck.

Basicly that idea but on a joined frame if that makes sense?

Heres a few pics a spit i made for my cossie shell a few months back.









Ive modified it now though. Ive changed the pivot point of where its bolted to the car about another 10inches higher to make it easier to roll over.
