    I have taken a good look at the fender lip rolling jig and I think I'm going to make one this weekend and I will post pics and dimensions of all items. I will also post pics of finish product.

    I have finished the plate that attaches to the rotor or drum. I have to machine the slots for the studs.

    oh no I welded a pipe onto a piece of flat stock and chucked the pipe and flat stock in the lathe and cut the hole and machined the outside edge with a lathe just a little skill I picked up somewhere along the way.

    When it has to run true there is no replacing a lathe! You just don't ever get it to run true when you do it by hand. (not saying you couldn't do it - it just is extremely difficult)
