Default Tightening a previous fender roll

Hey folks,

quick question. Searching on this is really not bringing up what I'm looking for. I want to move to some bigger spacers in the front. I rolled the fenders pretty well before but I really want to tighten them up before I put the new spacers on. Any ideas on how I could get it done without renting a roller again? I was thinking a C-clamp with a long piece of wood on the outside to protect the body and distribute the pressure. I don't think the pressure would be too much since it's nearly there. Thoughts?

Thanks!

-rick

I used an Eastwood fender finisher.

This should be the ideal tool to finish what you started.

The Parts Shop Max roller is way better than the eastwood IMHO. Might want to look into the v3 one they have

What's the difference? I thought the PBM roller was just a fancy rebadged Eastwood.

They have revamped different versions to make improvements.

I have used both the eastwood and the PBM roller, and the adjustability of the PBM roller is much better to get as much roll as possible. I used the EW roller on my z the first time and i could only get the rears to roll so much, i had to use my friends PBM roller to finish it off. The adjustment of the wheel you can pretty much get a completely flat roll with it.

That is just my experience though....
