SlippyD Posted May 23, 2025 Share Posted May 23, 2025 Hey - sorry if this is in the wrong section, would be happy to movie it. I thought about putting it in buy/sell/trade, but wasn't since I couldn't fund these anywhere, I thought it might be something I should ask fabricators. Anyways, I need a set of mounting brackets for the 280Z - Basically I would like to buy a set of front and rear rotisserie mounts. I normally do my own fabrication, but am in the process of moving, and my new place isn't wired for the welder, and honestly, the work I am doing on the car at the minute doesn't require welding, so I really just want to get it on the rotisserie instead of spending a month trying to get an electrician just yet. Mods : Please let me know if you need this post moved - anyone else, please let me know if you can help with the request! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted May 23, 2025 Share Posted May 23, 2025 angle iron. Drill the holes such that the rotisserie is dead center. Use grade 8 bolts for safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlippyD Posted May 24, 2025 Author Share Posted May 24, 2025 (edited) Angle Iron? You sure about that? every bracket I've seen people use for these seems to be much more sturdy than that... maybe im just not understanding what you mean.

A to Z Posted May 24, 2025 Share Posted May 24, 2025 angle iron is about 1/8" thick in a 90 degree bend. incredibly strong. It is just an idea. you lay the piece against the car with spacers so the body is a few inches from the bar. centered is where it is either welded or bolted to the center post of the rotisserie. It might be a good idea to go to YouTube and type in how to make a car rotisserie. Some guys have used 2 engine stands, that have been cut and lengthened, so they are taller. You could buy a rotisserie but they ARE pricy. how to make a car rotisserie - YouTube Good luck! be careful. New a fire extinguisher in the garage, gloves and eye protection, and do NOT rush! This kind of stuff can lead to divorce.\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlippyD Posted May 25, 2025 Author Share Posted May 25, 2025 I already have to rotisserie, I'm trying to just buy brackets to actually put the car on. I was hoping to not need to weld up my own given given how big the z car community is. Absolutely thought there would be a set available. Sucks because the new place isnt wired for my welder yet, which turns this particular little job I need to do, into a much, much bigger one.

CodeCombustion Posted July 4, 2025 Share Posted July 4, 2025 I plan to use a mobile welder/fabricator when the time comes. Might be worth a shot in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
