| Post subject: | mini rotisorie - how high? |
Greetings All. Bought a couple engine stands for wife's "Sheldon". Paramounts had 450kg Engine stands with wheels for $49-. Very basic units, and looks like I can simply slide a 2" pipe through the rotating bit. Can anyone tell me the MINIMUM hight to the "Skewer Pipe" which will allow rotation. I realise the Mini (62-997) is 4 ft high by 4 ft wide, but I presume (bare shell only) the sills may touch if I have 2ft. I'm prepared to cut n shut if I have too. Their still in the box, but I think they are around 30"s to pipe centre. Thanks in advance! Alex. |

They need another 7 or 8 inches to clear the sill as it rolls around. |

I have 34.5" from the floor to the centre of the skewer pipe - the car isn't on it right now, but I think I had around 4" under the sill to roll it over. make it as is and add some height if you need it |

Thanks Mick & Simon. I'll put one together and make an accurate measurement. Cheers Alex. |

Assuming a square 4ftx4ft and mounted on centre - diagonal from center to corner is 33.6" so 35" should be OK |
