favour. arches need rolling fcs.

[kingy]

right, just got my new wheels on and im really pleased with them apart from since the last time i had them on ive had it lowered another 25mm so now the tyres are scrubbing with any weight in the car.
ive had a look round derby and carnt find anyone to do it.
just wondered if any going to fcs/camping has or can get hold of a arch roller and do my car for me as i aint got a clue on how its done. rewards will be given in beer and reach arounds.
anyone????

[mark_airey]

I know dumdum has one but he isn't going now so ummmm...............could maybe see if he will send it up with someone he trusts?!

I wouldn't be risking cracking the paint though doing it at FCS!

cheers mark, this is what i was thinking, i know dum has some but as you say, he aint coming. what about kris b?

[Niall]

Might want to message him. He was talking about taking his but then said he won't bother if there is no interest.

I think kris has dumdums roller. He did mine. Only problem is you need a power supply so you can heat the paint as you roll it.

Mine needed a bit of filler and sanding.

i got one of them things that you plug into your fag lighter and them you can plug a normal plug into it. i can bring that if it helps.

[Pompey306mark]

Have to jack the car up and be secure. Without it sinking in the mud.

[kingy]

errrm, im sure we could sort that out as well.

[Pompey306mark]

Plus it is all our days off. I am sure we are happy to help. But after this week I am ready to go on a killing spree. COD tonight I think.

[Poodle]

[kingy]

Jack car, bolt on to hub where wheel goes and wind it out until its touching the arch, run it round and then wind it out a bit more and repeat until you have the arches looking how you want

[Pompey306mark]

Kris is bringing his by the way so you might want to save you mate some money and not hire one.

[cwspellowe]

Pfft, BFH, bit of filler and a lick of paint. Job done.

[Pompey306mark]

mine after filler and primer.
Not a close up but you can see them in the background.

[kentiiboii]

I'd love to do my but I don't wanna mess my paint up and have to respray it.

[KrisB]

To Clarify... I have dumdum's roller sitting by the workshop door ready to put in car 2moro.

Dumdum has told me that I'm to give him a cut of what I make from using it. Although saying that, its hard to charge for something that damages paintwork. I did a flatarch 106 yesterday after lowering it, mainly a roll but a small flare came naturally. Only about a 1cm piece of paint came off from the invisible part of the arch after heating.

Marks arches had to be re-worked with filler as I don't think we did a good enough job of cleaning arches first, this made outward pointing dents.

I don't mind helping whoever to do it, or doing the main part for them but I don't want que's for doing it 'cos I'm going to have a break from work and with the missus, I've not had a single day off in nearly 3 weeks, not even a sunday. And I cba getting dirty.

You need to undo shocks if lowered otherwise the roller won't fit. Sometimes still need to force the trailing arm down. A dummy shock would be perfect!

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah to add

- 306 paint always seems to crack even with heat (but itll crack on the inside so just hammerite it) other cars are alot better.

- If your car is stupid low you need to push the trailing arm down or the roller is too big.

- If your arches are full of filler, rust or other shit the finish will be shit and youll end up with lumps.


Oh and it is a proper body shop spec roller, not a homemade skateboard wheel on a jack and a wheel spacer.


I was charging people £20-£40 to borrow it before it went on long term loan to Kris.

[kingy]

right, mmmm. errrrm. ok. thought it could be donr without cracking the paint. might give it a go on saturday if im not to drunk. if i fucck up im sure their will be plenty of people to help me out. might go the whole hog and flare them.
