Anyone can sign up for their sale catalogues and get three or four days jump on the rest of the crowd.

Hi Stuart

Already have the 2 jacks..... earlier model with hand pumps.

For the hub best bet is a single trailer hub from PA for one end.... the other end.... the end that makes it turn is best set up with a worm drive reduction gear box that can be driven by hand or with an impact wrench... they are about $175 new at PA or cheaper if you can find them at a flea market ... the larger the better and the slower the gear ratio the better....

We need to have a session in the barn to finalize the design... with some scrap steel and a flip chart to sketch our ideas.... the rest is just cut and welding.

I favor two independent end units... the driven one as a stand alone so it can be used for smaller parts.... and adjustable square tubing to adjust for length.

when is a good time...?

Stuart,
Two cheap engine stands, some extra box tubing to extend the satnce of the satnds legs, reposition the wheels, add whatever height you need to the stand with box tubing and make up a mount for each end to accomodate your iltis. Use a piece of electrical conduit to join both stand together at the right length and a couple bolts welded in to clamp the conduit in place. Cheapest easiest rotisserie to make, have done a couple. Probably less than $200
