I've heard of people using engine stands for body tub supports with other
cars, and even heard passing references to rotisseries in general for
Spitfires, but never have I seen photos or any articles on how to do it.
No details. Do a search on the Internet and you keep running into the same
three pages about it.
That didn't help.
So after coming to the point on my Mk III where I needed to start work on
the chassis part of the restoration, I realized that I would have to
fabricate a rotisserie myself for the body tub and while I was at it,
document the whole affair for others to follow for reference.
I give you the Body Tub Rotisserie, made of two engine stands and can be
built for less than $150. If you have a welder, it can be a simple
project, but you can also assemble the entire thing out of bolts if you
wish as well.

I hope to get this up on several sites since it really benefits everyone.
Let me know what you think, Spitsters!
