[Mk2] [Generic] Rear Arch Rolling

[cantfindausername]

Think it should be alright with the rear shocks, it was always the fronts that caused a problem with clearence.

Did this ever get anywhere?

I'm in West Sussex and need a roll

I've been thinking about making one. Can't be that hard really. Bit of metal, a urethane wheel, bit of welding, couple of handles.

Skateboard wheel would do the job.

I have an old MK2 if you wanted to try it out

Well I've just drawn up the designs for one, so will have a chat to my mate who can more than likely source me the materials and do any fabrication. I reckon this is a go-er tho!

If poss could you measure from the center of the wheel to the edge of the front and rear arches please?

edit: and the side to side distance please

Cheers Gav, m uch appreciated. I won't be on much over the weekend but will pick the figures up from work on monday. Have already told my mate I need materials so the ball is rolling

Have now PM'd those who expressed an interest in renting the Arch Roller.

I will be using UPS as the courier as they are guaranteed pick-up and delivery and all next day, plus I get a cheap deal through work.

Arch roller will be supplied with full instructions, plus a good quality heat gun.

To reassure people, I had never done Arch Rolling before, but I followed the instructions, took my time and the job came out perfect.

I only needed to do the rears, and was running 9" with 35 offset and 255/40/17 tyres, rubbed like hell but now I have now rubbing at all.

Thanks

Graeme

hmmm so you have designed one?? did you not see the links on the first page (i think) to designs allready to make one.

consists of a wheel spacer and a ford car jack??

[cantfindausername]

Can you quote the design you mention cos I can't see it Dunno if I'm just being blind today or not though.

And I want a proper hub mounted roller, but some pikey bottle jack. Will be cheaper to make a proper one than buy a bottle jack anyway.

[simmo490]

sorry mate my mistake i will have a word with gtech and get him to post it on, its a full detailed scheme how to build it, its not a bottle jack its the old ford jacks they actually look like an arch roller mate

will speak to gtech now
