A baseball bat works.

I have a guard roller that I used on the front of my 67 no problems.  It's the one that bolts to the hub and has a skateboard wheel on it.  I also have a heat gun to soften the paint.

I'm in Brisbane if you want to give it a go.  All care no responsibility.

Hi Luke,

I'm in Brisbane also.

Cheers,

Stephen.

50 mm exhaust tube works well too..

I'm just wondering what size you guys are fitting to the rear of your 67s? 

I've got 17x9 on the back with 245s and there is still heaps of room.  I could go to 265s without rolling the guards.

When I owned a 68 I had 15x8 with 255x60 on the back and it was lowered 2 inches all round and had plenty of room because I had the right offset on my rims . The offset is where you can go wrong .

So I have 17x8 with 225s on the front that needed rolling just at the top.  The rear are 17x9 with 245s and have maybe 15cm to go to the guard without rolling.  Both are 4.5" backspace I think.

The front is lowered so if it was stock height there would be no problem.

What profile are your tyres?  Surprised you have so much room in the rear.
