I've done the searching and I still can't find the info I need.
What is a good way of mounting the rear of a late clubby on a rotisserie? All I can see is the rear seat belt mounts, would that be strong enough?
I already have the front mounted with the pole going through the windscreens, I'll post some pics if their needed.

How about a plate bolted to the rear parcel shelf and coming down to lower, closer to the centreline and then a strut between the rear shock mounts?

This is mine, just finished and while I've gone through the rear seat hole, I think the above method would work. It may depend on your fabrication skills somewhat. What's not visible in this pic is the strut between the shock mounts, which was as solid an area as any on the car.

Kennomini, it sounds like your clubby is a very late on (1977 - 1978). Not exactly sure when, but the hole in the firewall and rear seat frame disappeared somewhere around this time, as in the factory, they stopped using the rotodip when they moved from Zetland to Moorebank.

So much for the history lesson, this doesn't help you.

Try making a frame that bolts on to the shock top mounts in the boot.

Hi Simon

Roto looks great

You mean Zetland to Enfield.

Just mount it to the seat belt mounts and the master cylinder mounts at the front. Take a look at the seat belt mounts under the shelf, there is a thick bridge supporting the mounts.
The shell will be off centre but if you make the rotisserie with a wide base to prevent tipping it should be Ok. You could also add a counterweight to balance it. (the rotodip had a counterweight on some models to balance them.)

zetland to moorebank????

I think your thinking of DNSDC (defence national storage and distribution centre)

ANY SEA ANY TIME

Leyland Spare Parts division was at Moorebank and when Enfield closed they moved everything to Moorebank.

I built one that mounted across the bonnet catch panel(drilled out 1/2"thread and put high strenght bolt& washers)then rear onto subframe bolts in boot.I did'nt have a pole run thru the car just had the pivot point at the same height. i'm strugleing posting pics but should be able to email if anyone wants,just pm me a adress.

The one i use is a large rectangular trolley with 4 uprights. These uprights mount into the shock absorber holes in the rear and where the subframe bolts to the engine bay cross-member in the front. the ends of the trolley has an extention that protrudes from the centre and then up then out again. these last extrusions sit into 2 upright stands so i can spin the whole thing. (Hope thats understandable)


cheers Brenton

Just finished making a couple so now I can roll early and late model sedans and vans
I made the mounts so the center is in line with where it should be.



^^^The front subframe mount was used plus the hole above it.

The top of the subframe towers was used as the other mount.

I used the rear seatbelt mounts and wrapped the bar through the rear screen to make the support mounts for the pipe as far apart as possible, without making the jig too big and flimsy.

I then used the rear shocky towers to mount the cross bar.



I already rolled the car around and it is balanced quite well. The floor is still a bit heavier than the roof (this is the same with my other rotisserie down the bottom) but easily a one man job.
Now for the van.
This rear mount is bolted to the rear door hinge mounts and the both jigs shown above will be used with it if the van is a later model, otherwise the std front rotisserie mount will be used (see down below).

Finally these are my jigs for the older model minis. They use the conventional style of mounting similar to how the factory would have mounted them.
Front mount engine bay side

Front mount cabin side

Rear mount cabin side

Rear mount boot side

The frame at either end, these could be another 50mm taller but they still clear no worries.




The only thing left to do is make a long "arm" on either end so turning the car over can be done at the stands.
