Hi guys
I'm looking at getting a roll over spit for a mk4 escort project, and was wondering if anyone had any plans plans or cutting list to make one, as I dont really want to spend huge amounts when I can make my own a lot cheaper.
cheers For any usefull info

 

il get you some pics and measurements to mro mate ,2 inch box section and two different sized tube and some angle iron is what you need ,my one was made for a rst

 

that would be great if you could mate, as less money spent on spits and bits mean more money to spend on the car its self

 

I asked about one on here before and no one had any lol

 

if you want to by one mk2mania do a kit

 

rite couple sizes for you

the round tube is 4inchs long both small tube and big tube

big tube 2inch wide

small tube 1 1/2 wide

1 1/2 box section ,
legs 46 inches long

feet on the frame are 24inches long









the smaller tube has a nut and washer welded in so you can lock it off

 

Me and my mate bought one from here to do our MK3 MK2 Fiesta's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROLLOVER-J...#ht_6884wt_991

^hole shit brian there bout 25 quids worth of steel there

 

were building one at the moment that uses drum brakes for the spinning and braking system. Just an idea if you build your own.

 

this me other one

 

Really, well at the time we couldn't find any where that sold made them and tbh we ant that good at welding something like this together atm we have my mates Mk3 fiesta Rs turbo on it and it seems really good


Brian

 

not some thing you wana do if you carnt weld ,least its getting used well mate

 

My mate's MK3 on the spit

Here's a couple of mine on the spit I made for her.







The holes in the sides of the main frame mean the centre of gravity can be adjusted to suit.
So if the engine or gearbox below, or bonnet and hatch up top,
were still on, the spit still turns over with one hand and cant spin wildly round.

I use 2 of these

They work a treat, i bought them new from Machine Mart, was a while back, but i'm sure they were £50 each.
I did end up cuting the upright in half to make them taller as my Mk4 escort wouldn't go right over.

here is the one my mate got made , i have used it more than him, and he ended up giveing it to me .

its very good as its fitted with rams at both ends so a shell can be lifted of a set of axel stands from a low hight , and then lifted up to a hight that it can then be turned over .its also on wheels so the shell can be moved around the garage . the end that fits into the chassi is also adjustable ..





thanks steven

 

you may well have this sorted now but i made 1 a while back for my project:










from memory the main T`s at each end are 80x80x6mm thick box..

the pins are 40mm bar..

the box section actually fitted to the shell is 40x60x3mm thick (i think)

the wheels came from 1 of those BIG wheelie bins found in industrial estates.. they use a 13mm nut and bolt and can be removed very quickly in the middle of the night - if you struggle to find somewhere that sell them hahahah

the bar under the car is just 50x50x3 box section... the locking disc was done at a local laser cutters, 10mm steel and they charged £20 to cut it with all the locating holes..
