Adjustable Door Bars
/
0 Comments
We recommend that you support the door openings while on a rotisserie by using our adjustable Door Bars. These are absolutely critical for convertibles and when you’re doing rocker repair, but also a good idea for all bodies. They have left and right hand threads on them. Universal mounting plates and a universal joint are on both ends.
Adjust them out, bolt them on, and then adjust the center pipe like a big turnbuckle to maintain the opening dimensions for your door. We recommend bolting on the hinge and the striker, but it can also be bolted to the inner panels or other structural member. When you get done, take the car off the rotisserie, unbolt the door bars and you’re good to go. No clean up.
They come in 3 sizes depending on your vehicle.
Long Door Bars adjust from 45" to 62".
Medium Door Bars adjust from 36" to 53".
Short Doors Bars adjust from 27" to 44".

AutoTwirler Elite Auto Rotisserie
The AutoTwirler ELITE is our original height adjustable auto rotisserie model. There are literally thousands of these models in the market as it has been the most popular car rotisserie for many years.
The hydraulic jacks will allow you to pick the car body or frame up from 20” off the ground. The base is fully welded together for strength and long term durability.
The balancer is done with a 3/4“ Acme rod with a real wide thread, made for lifting, used as a screw jack. Please note that Acme thread is a wide thread which is formed and not cut; it is made for lifting, unlike all-thread. The weight is secured by L & W brackets Note, we use A325 structural grade bolts, on all of our equipment to prevent stripping out or damage.
The AutoTwirler ELITE was used by the US Army to remanufacture Humvees. It is used by another defense contractor to build their equipment. It is used by the Big 3 auto companies in their quality control and training areas. It is used by West Coast Customs, Chip Foose, Bryan Fuller, Ring Brothers, Detroit Speed, and many other restorers.
It was X-rayed and verified by a government engineering contractor in Texas who then sold it as part of their project to NASA. The design of this unit was confirmed by this company in 2009 and it passed as it was. Since then, we have made the swing arm thicker, the gussets on the swing arm wider, changed the retaining bolt in the pivot to a ball bearing retainer, and changed the caster supplier.
So, if you want to know the truth about our equipment, please ask us or investigate for yourself. Overall, this is a great automotive rotisserie.
