Arch rolling near to Harrow/Watford?
 
May need to get my arches rolled tommorow, thats if my wheels get delivered tmrw at last & Mags gets the tyres in & if the tyres actually rub!! :D
Going to try & get 225/45/17 tyres on a 8J / 48 offset rim on std classic sti suspension :wonder:

So anyone know a good place close by who can roll the rear arches on the day?

stephen beynon 30 March 2010 07:10 PM

P1 Daveyboy 30 March 2010 07:12 PM

rickya 30 March 2010 07:15 PM

Hi Ricky. One of the guys on the RB5 forum used a company called archenemy.co.uk. and they done a really good job (although they do ask u to sign a waver first). I don't know where they are based but they are mobile.

bockett used them
the disclaimer is to cover them if the paint cracks
and i think it often does
bring it round mine ricky and i will do it, no disclaimer to sign
our complaints department is me
if you moan i will slap you;)

rickya 30 March 2010 08:17 PM

Can you actually do it Budgie?? And without using angle grinders or hammer drills!

rickya 30 March 2010 08:22 PM

But you may use Karate Chops to the roll the arches Mr Budgeyagi, but not on me!

Like I said Ricky, it is easy with a lump hammer:eek:, and heat gun to soften the paint will stop it cracking in most cases:thumb: - I also have a set of panel beaters hammers if you want me to be careful:?

PS - can I get a lift on Sunday:(

rickya 30 March 2010 08:26 PM

No probs on sunday mate :)

JonMc 30 March 2010 08:27 PM

Shall I drive and you navigate:D

Remind me to grab my buckets:thumb:

madisonmonkey 30 March 2010 09:09 PM

I might throw together a ghetto arch roller as mine need doing :D

JonMc 30 March 2010 09:13 PM

If there's enough people need it doing this could be an option:thumb:

Luther 30 March 2010 10:15 PM

Yeah mine need doing... I was just waiting for some warm weather to arrive before my black OZs went back on and arches rolled properly. I was actually going to book in with ArchEnemy too... I've heard good things :thumb:

Will defo be up for this.....

Shiver 30 March 2010 10:29 PM

Yeah, Russ used ArchEnemy. Little Knocks also recommended them.

I'll book in when the car is back too.

Just spotted this one Jon, good find. Could be a good idea if anyone's feeling brave/skilled? £10 for heat gun too.

JonMc 31 March 2010 01:20 PM

I have a heat gun so don't need that - if people are willing to take the chance I'll be up for doing it - if I ever get a moment:thumb:

I rolled the arches on my cavalier myself with a set of panel beaters hammers and had a 1" crack on 1 arch and that was without heat - I did all 4 on the cav:D

rickya 31 March 2010 02:04 PM

Not needed as 3 wheels arrived today, the 4th is somewhere in the Interlink twilight zone :freak3:

This was after 2 previous failed pick ups, the first saying they are too heavy packed in pairs & then rebooking individually & them saying booking still shows pairs not 4 packages. This was by DHL.

So then rebooked with Interlink who end up losing one!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Will wait & see if it turns up tmrw?

ps also last week my Opie Oils delivery was lost by Fedex & after 8 days I got them ship out new consignment!! This meant could nt get the car serviced, worked on & mapped this week either. :(

rickya 31 March 2010 02:11 PM

Its put me right off even going out on Sunday on the run with my $hitey wheels/tyres etc :(

Come around and laugh at me getting peed off taking the headers off then:thumb:

I haven't seen a cross-threaded nut in weeks:D

rickya 31 March 2010 03:17 PM

I would pop in mate, but taking the Mrs out for a meal tonight, well needed break for me from refurbing the new house, work, manflu, car shennanigans etc!

JonMc 31 March 2010 04:12 PM

Feeble excuse - getting some ported headers later so nearly there - just need to get hold of Moley and sort some insurance:mad:
