    Rotisserie size short wheelbase versus long wheelbase

    Rotisserie size short wheelbase versus long wheelbase
    Good morning I'm building a rotisserie for a short wheelbase car and I am using the diagram provided by restoration design
    http://www.restoration-design.com/pdf/rotisserie.pdf
    Would the length be the same for a short wheelbase as a long wheelbase car?
    The horizontal bars are 68 inches would this be the same for either SWB or LWB?
    Thanks for the help

    Good morning M.A.,

    It would be the same as you know, Porsche made an improvement to their 911 by lengthening the wheelbase by 57mm (2.25-inches). This was accomplished by relocating the independently sprung rear wheels within the bodyshell. Though the wheelbase changed, the overall length and the position of the engine remained the same. The locations you would bolt to for the Restoration D's rotisserie are going to be the same for your MY '69

    That's what I thought just needed to confirm before I start cutting up the metal. Thanks for the quick reply
