Rollin' rollin' rollin . . . .

Wanted the Fasta an eeny-weeny bit lower, which meant a rear tyre/arch interference problem.

 

My mark 1 arch roller (basically half a skateboard) wasn't up to the job, just not meaty enough.

 

 

So, here's mark 2;

 

 

Hub plate made from old wheel and some box section.

 

 

Bolt to hub.

 

 

Rest of it is held on with quick release pins.

 

 

Only bit i had to buy was a polyurathane pallet truck wheel.

 

 

Adjuster a bit half finished , but hey-ho wanted to give it a go!

 

 

Forgot to take any more pics until i'd finished. Worked well, seemed to be at the end of it's travel on a fiesta arch.

 

Made it 'cos they're £250 to buy and i was only going to use it once. Now considering a rent-for-beer type scheme available only to OSFer's. . . .

 

Any takers?

Thankyou gentlemen, i am a bit smug tbh

 

But, it's already started gathering dust. Really want to get someone elses opinion on it, so, . . bumpety-bump, does anyone want to give it a try?

i got one similar. its called a baseball bat. hold it against the tyre near the arch and roll the car holding the bat the woods soft so it don't damage the arch or paint primitive but old skool
