Message The previous owner used it on his early model RX7 that was turned into a track car. I made up my own adapters to connect each end to my Z. It was a bit slow going with my TIG welder, but that's the whole point, I want to practice my TIG skillz.

here's a link to the rotisserie manufacturer. La-Z-Link

The front mounts were simple square tubing welded onto an 8x8x1/4" steel plate with 3 holes drilled in it to connect to the front tow hook mounting point.

The rears were each made up of a staggered stack of 3 pieces of 1/4" plate to account for the staggered bolts on the rear bumper mount. Square tubing centered and attached between the 4 mounting holes. I thought about adding some sort of buttressing, but while test fitting I was able to lift my car briefly with only 4 small tack welds so I figured welding all the way around would be more than enough.

I also drilled a large hole and welded a large nut on each of the adapters so I could use a bolt to clamp the adapters on to the rotisserie.

Here are some pictures:
