hi all .
does anyone know anything about car spits .
basicly i have a 3dr cossie and it needs both rear chassie legs welding/ cutting out and replacing.
the problem i have i cant find any replacements, so cutting some from a doner car will have to do,as mine are too far gone i think to plate up..
problem i have is i dont want to be underneeth the car welding if i can help it.
rear axle is off . interia is out and dash front and back bumper off,
so what i am basicly asking will a spit hold/tilt with the engine and box still in the car.or am i asking to much from it . to heavy etc.
any info would be helpull .
thanx.

i would say it would but it does depend on how well the spit is made...

why dont you get a frame so you can tip it on its side

i have my escos on a spit just now for the floor getting painted (tonight) but i would would advise take as much as possible of and really dont think its a good idea if your cutting your floor as it my weaken the car and twist the chassis i would say do it on the floor but thats imoa not wanting to do all that and twist the shell as Barry has said

"why dont you get a frame so you can tip it on its side"

that would be a safer idea but still take everything off

Yeah you can buy (or make, you have a welder) a roll over device that bolts to the wheel hubs.
