raddosj 0 Posted June 23, 2006 is this tool any good to roll ur arches ? has anyone used one of these was going to buy and do it myself as handy to have ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted June 23, 2006 They're quite easy to make using a standard VW jack and a skateboard wheel... Haven't used one myself and I'm sure it's all about taking your time with this kind of thing - top tip is to use a heat gun to soften the paint as you go! Some people have still experienced cracking even with this though :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted June 23, 2006 PM gradeAfailure on here - he was planning to make one and IIRC he has some diagrams etc for doing this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted June 23, 2006 think RSR Wheels do arch rolling at £25 per wheel but most places do them from £30 - £40 per wheel and their likely to be quite experienced at not cracking the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted June 23, 2006 i borrowed g-werks tool which is the same as that one in tha pic it was a pain getting it in the right position to start off but obviously stayed in that position for the rest of the car. i used a heat gun and got no cracking. the home made ones are just as good though ive seen one a guy on edition supplys the plans can remember who but he has a rallye in his sig pic!
