yes it is bursons,they have a website but they dont have an online catalogue, but you call 1300burson

and ask for a fender roller.$175

they are all over australia, the closest one to me is seven hills , sydney

Another company can get them for 200 is AUTOLAC

They both have a 2 day wait on them cause they are shipping them up from melbourne ( same distributor )

That just about wraps it all up, now i have to get the tool and perform surgery on the guards

Keep you all posted!!!!!!!!!

ima gonna go to the penrtih one tomorrow and order one i think .. $175 is too good a price

Why are they so cheap? I would've thought they'll be at least $400, but $129? That's crazy cheap.

I'm just gonna wait till the Christmas sales. :whistling: I don't even have a licence or a proper car I can drive yet so no point buying it JUST yet.

Well i just picked mine up

normal chinese tool, but still sturdy and looks like it will do the job pretty well. hopefully i'll find some time soon to test it out

ended up getting it for $145 from burson's in penrith

was changing some upper control arms, so while the wheel was off i bolted the unit on to get a feel for how it worked, fits good and will do the job.

there will be alot of adjusting involved since the wheel arches arent a perfect circle

also need to remove the calipers to get the unit to do a full sweep.

heres a pic - not bad for $145

Myself & a mate flared the guards on my S14 a month or so back.. Im running 18x9 +25ish on the rear of the car with the 265's which came with them & I have my car on the deck.

Her'es something different if your ballsy enough to try it :) worked awesome for me...

We used a jack handle first with a heatgun to roll the inner lip slowly driving back & forth.

Then once the inner lip was rolled we got 2 sheets of thin Ply, 2 very thin pieces of aluminium & a scissor jack for the flaring.

Put the scissor jack in your wheel arch & wind out so that it has alluminium then wood pushing against your guard slowly heat the arch & keep increasing the tension on the jack & it will push your guard out.. you will have to move the jack 3 or 4 times so you get an even flare but the results were excellent.. I got about an inch out of my guards with no cracking, so now I can fit my 18x10 +18's :D

Pics below... If any of you have seen standard S14 guards you will appreciate how much flare we have got in the 2nd pic..

there are heaps and heaps of threads on this dude..

no it wont screw anything up.. maybe your paint on the lip but thats it..

rolling and flaring are 2 different things. and both are only done to the outer skin... not the inner guard if thats what your referring to.

Yeah, don't want to flare.

dont waste your money on the burson tool its a heap of shit, mine threaded on the first guard about 5 passes in. next time id pay someone else to do it. however i have welded a few nuts and a new bolt onto the burson tool and it has improved it out of sight.

and craved, the washers on the handle are to go under the wheel nuts. if anyone was wondering?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
