Build Your Own DIY-Rotisserie: Porsche 911

- After receiving numerous requests for documentation on your in-house rotisserie builds, we're making the plans available to the public. In this video we detail some tips and tricks for making this work with your Porsche 911 shell.
Wireframes and Measurements are available here:

ATTENTION: For those of you wishing to fit other cars in here, simply bolt the plates onto the car in secure points (ie. suspension mounting points) then weld the 1" square tubing from the bolted plate to the rotisserie.
You can also make adapters to fit various cars into the same rotisserie so that you can reuse it over and over!

Thanks guys for sharing this and going through the effort to share your tips. Too many shops are unwilling to assist the hobby-level enthusiast and simply want you to come in a write a big check. Not all of us can do that, so I really appreciate these vids. Keep up the great work in the shop!
I second Geoff's comments, hobby folks would GROW in number if more shops helped those guys (me). Great job Restoration Design!
Not a Porsche owner (Old BMW) but am impressed how you share this info with the DIY hobbyist. Well done!
+kuladeeluxe Not a Porch owner either (Gremlin X) but I feel the same way.
thanks you for the drawings ~~ i need lots of pars for my 73; 911e
Beautiful! Definitely saving this for later use
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome! You guys have obviously built quite a few of these--posting a materials list would be extremely helpful--thanks!
You guys rock!
awesome mate
this is a great piece of kit. I just bought a 912 project and it came with this rotisserie. I linked this video in one of mine. Hope that is fine for you. Greetings from Germany!
Thanks so much!!!
awesome!
Measure the front support before cutting as my 69 911 needed 20.0" rather then the 19.75 on the drawing. So far so good.
Carmen!
Is that 1" or 2" tubing used? The description says weld the 1" tubing, but it sure looks like 2". Thanks.
Question on this, is there a version for the 914?? If so how do I get it.
You don’t sell the precut tubing, do you?
Do you use the same basic structure for the BMW 2002?
Matthew Guilbault Yes, we do. We built the outer octagonal cage (around the car on jacks), then mounted plates to the front and rear subframe points. Then we measured and cut bars to attach from the bolted on plates to the cage.
Couldn’t find link to the drawing
How thick and what size is the metal frame you using?
+Lees Autoworks the square tubing is 1.25" x1.25" with 1/8 wall thickness
Thank you
Restoration Design, would you see any issue using 13gauge instead of 11. Looks about $100US cheaper to use 13gauge. Gusset all angles?
I cannot say the difference in rigidity and stifness between 13 and 11ga but I can share my experience in my metal gauges that I am familiar with and I can say that 22 -20-18-16-14....14 obviously is mush more rigid that 22 but between 22 and 20 there is a huge difference as well. ( And so you know I worked in sheet metal siding which unlike the car industry the metal is much cleaner and less acceptable to rust. Nobody wants a building sheeted in siding thats going to rot out in 5-8 yrs.) So back to metal ga and its stiffness/rigidity. most building we sheeted required U channel or t bar to screw the siding to. Those were usually 18 or 16 ga and the difference in 18 and 16 was huge considering looking at the thickness of the two was very minuscule. But lifting one or the other you to definitely tell the difference in weight and how much "flex/wobble was in it.
Also you have to consider anything measured in ga is rather thin anyway. No intended for anything relative to structural strength unless mated to other ga to create a structural component to it. If you are looking for strength in a single piece of metal you need to step up to a form of measurement and not gauge.
And a lil bit of experience no matter what tech data you read. A tube either round or square does not have the same strength as the same guage formed in 2 1/2's and welded together. The weld if done correct and its a clean weld holds more strength than if the piece was formed as a complete piece.
Kinda of like lap jointing a piece of wood and gluing it together. The wood will fail before the glued joint unless a chemical is introduced that affects the glue but doesn't affect the wood.
