im gonna tackle making my own roll over jog/spit for my A4,

whats the sort of thickness of square tubing etc i need to use?
also what type of bearings for the rollover bit?

cheers boys

 

Hello Sean

me and my mates will be ordering one very shortly, I will be drafting some construction drawing for future reference if these will be any good to you?

 

Im sure theres a guy on ebay that sells them at a price that makes it not worth the hasstle of making one your self.

 

i used inch half box section ,two size tubes no bearings on mine il try find a picture

 

,they will be 100quid plus off rick mk2 mainia on ebay

 

tottally agree miller, but the one im getting is a universal adjustable one so can fit a large number of cars, I do trchnical drawings so I just though it wouldnt hurt to have them for reference if anyone wanted them or needed to know one up

 

15quids worth of steel + a welder made mine worth while taking 20mins to make

 

The deluxe jig id Ł300 old pal

that the one we are thinking of

 

use drum brakes and a handbrake mechanism for the roller imo. fully adjustable and lockable at any angle. Worked on mine and it's perfect

 

Your the man dingla!! your the man!!!!

Well I reckon you give us a price for 2 then mate as myself and I guess the op would be interested (price dependant of course lol)

Seriously though Price .com

 

exactly, the materials needed and a bit of time, grinding disks, electricity, plasters for cut fingers, will be even Ł100 MAX by the time you buy good drill bits and a splash of paint

Raj, its mainly more for the height when spinning the car over and getting the 2 points centred between front and rear, if that makes sense

Cheers for the input lads, appreciate it

 

Some said to use 2 engine stands?

 

not tall enough and the heads are angled wrong

 

@ Dingla - Wasnt calling you big headed mate, was just trying to take adbantage on your skills old pal No problem, you have you hands full at the moment I know

@ Sean - it should be within the next 2 months we get the jig as I myself am waiting to get my new garage sorted so I can crack on with my car, probably a bit too long for you but I will have some drawings done as soon as I get it for yourself or anyone else who is interested

 

will be good, hopefully need something by beginning of next month latest

drawings will be good though, lots of people will find helpfull
