DIY ARCH ROLLING Widowmaker Jack

Found this, thought it maybe of use to people.

Plus it's an actual good use for a widowmaker jack...

Shamelessly pinched from another forum, but just sharing the knowledge.... :wink:

Makes sense really it looks the same as a normal arch roller :afro:

I did make one of these using a wheel spacer for the plate. Worked a treat and beats paying 2- £300 for a proper one.  Now actually rolling the arches is a different story! Ben

Hadn't thought of using a plate, that's a great idea. will use that when I get it off my mk3... Top tip.
