Rolling Guards

Post by Finny »

Does anyone who has done their guards, have any advice / ideas / feedback on the best way to do it yourself.

Pics would be great. :D :D

I assume it is a bit harder than doing a jap car, where the metal can almost be bent by hand . :shock: :shock:

Angle grinder, a bit of trampoline pipe. Have a look on youtube, there is a video there, and it worked for me :)

Found one on a guy doing jap car, but not an old holden.

I just assumed the Holdens would be more difficult due to the size of the metal and the fact that it is stronger.

Is their one on a holden ? :?

Nah Mate,

But it still does work! Just let your tyre down a little, to perhaps 24psi and give it a go.

Requires a bit of practice, but it worked for me.

Jap cars roll themselves as soon as you throw bigger wheels on them :lol:

Tried the guard on the car and it doesn't hit. :D

At least not while it's stationary. :shock:
If it was bouncing it may be a bit different

I'm not sure even with rolled guards if it would fit.
But then again the current springs don't have a lot of bounce in them.
