Just thought id roll my arches, fit my trackday wheels for a look see and fit my new 6 point harness, forgive the colour but it was cheap!

What you think?






And these are the normal road wheels....

How are your seats fitted m8?

[jonno]

Which harnesses did you get? Caterham 4x4's?

ah, so thats what is meant by rolling the arches, always wondered, is that your own machine?
looks really good with the arches filled up, gives the car a really aggresive stance

what size wheels/tyres are the trackwheels btw?

They have fixing points on the bottom of the seats, so I fabricated so seat rails (just a strip of steel with some holes in!) then bolted these strips to the original seat runners, pretty easy really.

Which harnesses did you get? Caterham 4x4's?

No mate, after looking it turns out Caterham harnesses have bolt on shoulder strap fixings and westfield harnesses have the snap on ones, both with shorter straps. Those ive fitted however are just saloon ones, bit long but just adjust them, all it means is there is about a metre (maybe a bit less) of excess harness hanging down, if you were bothered you could trim it back.

yeah, tbh though the main function of rolling them is to fold up the lip that sits on the inside of the arch, it doesnt really push the arch out much (if at all), although im sure if your more agressive withthe roller you could make it! Its not my roller, I borrowed it from a guy at work, I only half mentioned it too him then the next day I had £400 worth of arch roller on my desk, what a top geezer!!!

what size wheels/tyres are the trackwheels btw?

They are 8x16 rear and 7x16 front.

Ta for all the questions!

They are 8x16 rear and 7x16 front.

There the sizes I said above, i don't know the offset tbh, I am taking them off later so will see if its written on there, there a jap make, wedsport, again I don't know the name of that particular wheel, although i'm sure someone on here does. All I know is there forged aluminium and are very light compared to my cast alloy wheels (7kg as opposed to approximately 20kg), also they have much thinner spokes and rim, which allows me to run a 3mm spacer on the front instead of a 10mm, which I have to use on my cast wheels, to clear the calipers.

If I find out any more ill let you know

Nice mate, I actually prefer the track wheels to the Hyundai ones
