Great minds think alike...
There are a number of site on Utube that shows how to beef up the bead rollers.
Grant beefed up is bead roller with similar brackets and we installed a Volvo leather wrapped steering whell instead of the crank..... make for a smoother cranking speed..... mounted on a foot made of 4 inch x 1/4 inch well casing pipe and welded to a 20 inch commercial not CMP rim.....
Very sturdy.....with multi passes it can handle healthy sheet metal with no deflection. He is working on a special fence for a particular application and more fences for specific uses can be made. It really requires two to operate accurately.... I do the cranking and Grant guides the pieces...
We have used it to set the offset on the patches for his top and will do the same for mine.
Cheers
