Baseball bat?
Need one of those in a shed/garage, right next to the machete, mine is blue, lightweight aluminium
.
Adjusting is the same exercise because they have the same adjuster. Probably easier on the timing gear being lighter.
How much would you pay for a set?
The only difficulty is to know what is the material, but I would pretty confident to guess 7075 T6. With that question answered, I could make those on my machines, there's nothing difficult about it, just a lot of faffing about and measuring carefully.
Schlitz, see the ref in post #798 below if you want a quote and confirmation of the material details for those rockers.
Nauli, the baseball bat is an old hot rodding trick to flare the guards for fat tyres. A bit of 2" pipe also works when you wedge it between the guard and the standard tyre then roll the car forward so the metal is stretched/formed. I seem to recall that BrettR described the process with his usual how to pics.

Okay, that mob only lists roller rockers for some american cars and they say it's cast stainless (?) steel, no reference to the material code, but I reckon I could do it with better material (stainless). The price just shot up though. In your picture they looked like anodized Aluminium. Could you confirm?

Another job done.
All steel guards for 7's.
I know, too obscene for 99% of the establishment but a 7 rear with a 205 and 6 front with a 185 makes the car feel right and handle safely.

Dunno about 99% of the establishment disapproving. I reckon you've done a great and very discreet job. Most people wouldn't even know they were flared.
Nice photos too - thanks for showing us the work.
Now for your 2020 posts...

Can't make it out form the pictures, what tires are these and what size?
