Default Body Rotator plans

Guys,
Can any one help with plans for a body rotator? I have seen plenty on the net, some dimensions for a cobra chassis would help plenty
Thanks,
Stokesy

Is it body and Chassis or just body ? When I did the underside of the cobra I just bounced it around on half a dozen inflated tyre tubes, and leant it against the wall.

I grabbed some steel and old front hubs off a falcon.

Some glass bodies won't support themselves well. Specially thru the door area.

I found a couple of big old bean bags handy.

Knowing the cost of materials these days I reckon just buy one. Radum has some good ones at very good prices. The cost of steel and the rams in this one would probably cost more than the purchase price if you were to build it yourself.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your input, i met up with Rog who had recently purchased a unit. I also managed to get some plans. In the middle i have costed all the parts approx $500 to make one with a few bells and whistles. A project for a weekend while waiting for car bits to arrive.
Pete
