Guard rollers

Post by WideOpenThrottle » Sat Dec 01, 2012 7:31 pm

Now that i have some new wheels i need to roll/flare the front guards.

Do the guard rollers just flatten the inside lip or can they flare the guard?

I just need to get about 20mm more clearance...anybody got one i could borrow/hire if you think it will do what i need?

Cheers

Just for people in future, flat things are fine too. I.e 4x2 wood.

Put it in the gap, bend the lip, drive car forward 10cm, repeat.
