Would anyone happen to know where the center line of gravity on the shell itself is?  I've searched w/ zero luck in finding this info.  Thanks in advance

On the van mine is secured to the front bulk head via a 2” block then through the rear dead centre of the door opening the van then turns on the spit with two fingers hope that helps

Thanks Van13.. I'm sure the Van is different....  I"m looking for the typical saloon CG.  I'm guessing it's just lower than the front grille support beam.

If you are only after the fore and aft C of G the you could work this out from front/rear axle weights.

I think you're right. Just read OP's second post referencing height.

You are correct.  I'm limited to aligning my rotisserie with the center line.  While I have the rotisserie working well enough, I am curious to know how much I'm off..  Therefore looking for some height measurement.   sorry for not being clear....
