Arch rolling tool
Where can I rent an arch rolling tool from? I know Frost sell them for ?225 but I'm likely only to use it once. :x
Any ideas folks, I would prefere not resort to using a hammer and wood to shape…….. ops:
I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday

halfords charge silly money used to work there. get one of the mechanics to do it as a foreigner.
They not too good at it either at my local shop.
They did my brothers Mk1 rear arches, one wa OK, the other started to wrinkle so they stopped and said that it must be rusty on the under side?!?!? Was it hell - there was nothing wrong with it!

Had mine at the local shop yesterday. The arches are so hard and especially with replaced arches the edges usally are a bit extra wide, which makes it hard for the metal to stretch as much as it needs. So it started to crack on the edge of the arch a bit down on both sides.
So either slim down the edge of the arch or as I did just cut it all off :twisted: I did?nt have time to go back to get it "properly" sorted, since I?m off to a track meet today.. WOHOOOO!!!!
Now there is only a minor rubbing on the outside of the tire instead of on top of it :dontknow: Hopefully that will not ruin my race day… prepared for anything else.. but that little thing would be
Cheers

Also there's no chance left for water/salt to sit on the lip and start rotting

A fan heater though might warm the paint up enough (or at least give it a nice slow start)
you'll have to get lots of pics of how you get on!
