Default Carrier 'Rotisserie'

With a little imagination and engineering skills, you too can have something like this. Perfect for those times when you need to sandblast your carrier.

A local carrier owner built this 'contraption' so that rebuilding carriers would be a whole lot easier.

Nice stuff, not sure what a tub would weigh, but as Iam yet another over cautious Brit i would consider thicker chains, i would hate to think what sort of inertia that tub would generate if it brke free.

I made a similar item for a mini and it is much easier especially when welding up floor pans !

Great Idea for practicing victory rolls after each rally, Just make sure you are wearing a full seat belt harness and a hard hat!!
All you need now is a pilots license and some wings.
Any way what a neat idea for getting all the loose sand out

Not sure Dennis but it does look like garnet from the texture and colour.

Hell of a way to empty the ash tray!

I built a similar manual one for use with my M38 tube during rebuild. Makes painting a breeze.
