Fender Rolling adapter question

Hey everyone,

I want (more like need) to roll the rear fenders. The eastwood truck adapter is what's needed to fit the Porsche hub, correct? I read someone state that he wasn't able to make it work with his Porsche so before I buy, I want to make sure.

Here is the part I'm talking about:

ECS states it fits Porsche:

I found a generic one on eBay for a cheaper price with same description, look like the eastwood one.

Ok I got your pm. First if you have a grinder at home you can mod the eastwood roller and need no adapters. I'll post a pic. You just cut the ends of the holes off, works fine.

As for liner question you asked, yes for a minor roll you can leave the liners in and not mod them at all. If you want to do a crazy roll like mine, modding the liners is required.

Thanks!

I did not buy a roller, I was going to borrow one from a local shop. They do not have any adapters so I figured I'll just buy one and give it to them once I'm done.

If a regular one can be modified, I might as well just buy the roller and mod it and keep it... even though I'll probably not need it for a very long time.

I checked ebay and all the no name rollers look identical to Eastwood rollers. Heck, even eastwood sells their rollers now for $90.
