Rotisserie rear mount e-Body

[DHRKRider]

Is it okay to mount a rotisserie using the bumper bracket holes on a 70 Challenger? All I would need to do is drill holes in the supplied valance bracket that came with the Rotisserie. The provided leaf spring support bracket would require fabrication. Please post pictures of your rear attachment solutions. Maybe you have an easy way and I'm just over thinking this. Plus, I don't want to damage anything in my process. Thanks

Mine was not steel, but I mounted it to the rear bumper mounting location. I car body really doesn't weight that much. I could pick up the back of my car by myself when it was sitting on jack stands and my grown son and I were able to roll the Barracuda on its side with not much effort. The only issue I see is the farther away you have the brackets away from the car, the more torque you put on the car itself. You look like you could lop off a foot of length on your set up and still rotate the car. Rod

I looked your project up under the Member Restorations section. Wow! You did a fantastic job of putting it back together.

This gives me confidence. However, as RKlein71 points out in his post above, my brace may be to long. What is your length from mount point to vertical attachment? Thanks

 

[dadeo1852]

13" from mounting face to centerline of vertical attachment.
