My car has not been on the rotisserie for a couple of years at least, so I cannot remember how close to the CG my system was. It was not spot on, since some rotations required more effort (and care) than others. Although a fairly large creature (over 6 ft) I am now old and my strength is going, but I was never afraid to turn the chassis.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The system shown in the photos will only work for a bare chassis. With the shrouds fitted, the front pivot will need to move forward to clear the shroud. The rear may need the same. Each action will raise the pivot point, so will probably keep the pivot close to the CG. However I cannot remember that I ever used my rotisserie with the body panels fitted.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Michael, I will look at dimensions of pivot points tomorrow, and make another response.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ian<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
