I happened to just be reading an article on someone using this technique
in the Spitfire and GT6 magazine issue #2 which can be d/led for free at
http://britishtoolbox.com/spitfiremag.html
homepage is http://www.triumphspitfire.com
in pdf format. The rotisserie is decribed on pg 30 with a corresponding
picture. Though I must say, yours looks a bit more professional :)
