Thanks guys!
I thought the 2x4 (trimmed to fit the vertical tube) was iffy. I now find that there is no question of its capability.
Perry, To answer locating the roll center question, I looked at many online MGB rotisseries. Most of them vary with the level of disassembly. Most are convertibles, some have suspension parts still in place some have doors, etc. Getting a good reference was difficult. When it came down to it, I winged it from those pics and my own visual estimation. It is a bit top heavy as she sits, but still easily manageable.
MV8, Come on along. The water's fine. You know you want to. A Spit on a spit. Sounds only fitting. Already, with only a few hours working on the car in this situation, I can say it is a whole lot easier than crawling under the car and having all that cr@p falling in my face. FYI, the HF 750lb and 1,000 lb stands are virtually the same structure with the same wheelbase. The main difference That I see is that the 750lb has a single caster on the center leg and the 1,000 stand has a short cross bar with 2 casters. All casters and the cross leg were removed for this application.
Lonnie, the Safety Pink paint was leftover from a project I made for my granddaughter. Waste not want not. It sort of matches the pink that is on the car before it got sun bleached.
But like you said, it is difficult to ignore when walking around the car.
JD, I remember those stickers! Those were from the Leyland years, I'm pretty sure.
