If you cant get a hold of one, try get a hold of stockcar fellas. They use them, bound to be plenty around rangiora.

i made my own one for the motor bike tyres out of a real grunty soldering iron and made a blade up that clamped to the end of it.it worked ok once warmed up and with the right technique the rubber just fell off.but took ages.

Cheers rok, but I can't afford em, plus I'd need to mod front muffler location from footwell.
Cheers to all for offers and advice etc. I'll have to peruse these avenues and report any findings.
