TO LOAN: basic body rollers from CJ Autos

[Haveacamper]

As my resto comes to an end I'm probably not going to need my body rollers for a while, so thought I'd see if anyone wants to loan them off me rather than buying their own set.

The body rollers can be seen on the CJ Autos website or on my resto thread (page twenty something I think)

I'm based just outside Abergavvenny, south wales or may be able to organise delivery to a show

If you are interested please pm to discuss

I have the 5 bolt and 4 bolt mounting plates for beetles and buses, fits bus 112 and porsche 130pcd. Off the top of my head I don't have the plates for the wide 5 205pcd

Now there's a cool offer. Does it come with a free able bodied person to carry out the work? I promise to feed them once a week and not do the shackles up to tight

 

[Haveacamper]

thats not a problem, i can provide that, but to be honest, it would be cheaper to just buy a new one from CJ Autos yourself

Thought i would post a picture rather than make anyone trawl through my resto thread:

Nafe, as a matter of interest, how much head room is needed to turn a van on its side?. I have a ceiling in my garage that is about 8 foot and i'm thinking I may need a bit more than that. I would love to borrow the rollers but my work rate is fairly slow due to only getting to work on the van at weekends.

Cheers, Andy

i wouldnt like to commit to saying how tall. depends on normal height of you bus to start with and what roof you have. then you would have to work out the diagonal distact from one wheel centre to the roof on the other side of the bus.

i cant verify the accuracy of this, but:

if the inside is 1380mm and the width 1550, then the diagonal is about 2100mm or 6ft 8inches. however, this does not account for the added height when you have the rollers fitted.

 

[Fortunate Son]

Van is stock height and has dormobile roof, and stands about 6 ft 9 vertically. Looking at your pics and others I have seen, it seems to me that you have to jack the van up a fair bit to fit the rollers such that the wheel centre is at least 2 foot off the ground...............which kind of tells me I aint goint to be able to roll a van in my garage! (I'll have to cut a section of ceiling out!!

Thanks for the info, mucho appreciated mate,

Andy

[Haveacamper]

I've got a mate who's rents live right at the top. As you go past the playing field you fork left up the hill rather than right towards to council estate. There is a hous just by there where I think I've seen a VW before. May have a bit of a car port etc

[Fortunate Son]

Hey NaFe, you got me thinking again - in your picture what is your floor to ceiling dimension? Also how much would the rent be? Cheers, Andy

 

[Haveacamper]

still for rent if anyone wants to sort the underneath of your bus out without getting covered in the crap that falls on you

 

[Barkafer]

I would like to rent these from you Dude. I'm in Peterborough area out in the flat lands.
I only had the thought that I may need some rollers yesterday too, so this is a timely thread
You have a PM
