Hi Guys
I need to roll the arches on my Suzuki and have seen arch rollers on Ebay for £28.99 delivered,
It seems really cheap so I was wondering if they are any good?
Cheers
Adrian

Yes I bought on and rolled the rear arches on my volvo and was pleased with the result
Just keep the area warm and take your time

I have one, its pretty useless if your car is any more than already moderately lower because the main arm is too long to get started on the lip at the correct angle.
I may chop and reweld mine.

I have two for the reason stated above. One from Eastwood which is for standard height cars and one from Powered by Max which is great for lowered to slammed cars. None of them are good for most rear fenders as they are very stout but they do well on front fenders and as finish work after a good hammering on the others.

I bought one, not used it yet. I can imagine VIP has it right.

Find it better to use a soft hammer and dolly

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Scaffold pole for the rears, hammer and dolly
For the fronts. Arch rollers are a waste of money.

Did the rears on my mk2 Escort years ago with a jack handle and about 4 people in the boot when I was racing and the tires rubbed. Did a good job and didn't even damage the paint on the outside of the arch.
