Anyone here know where you can get panelbeating dollies in sydney? The local body supply store only has a limited range, only flats, mushroom & medium. I'm after a comma.

Also where can you get stuff for lead loading? Any tips/suggestions on lead loading?

Thanks

crash supplies if they are still around used to be in Brookvale.
but any panel repair shop or tool specialist will sell them.

There are good dollies and crap dollies. The cheap ones are just cast iron and very sof and get a lot of pits and dents in them. You can usually pick up a set with four dollies and two hammers for about 50 bucks at a cheap auto parts store.

The good brands like Sykes Pickavant and Stahwille can set you back up to $120 for one dollie or one hammer, but I have a SP hammer I have had for 15 years as a panel beater and I love it. It is perfectly balanced and doesnt get pits in it. Only replaced the handle once (Hickory)

Same old story. You get what you pay for. The 'comma' shaped one should not be too hard to get. KC tools also have a panel hammer and dolly range.
