Hey Gos, how do you organise transport of rims to Darryl?

Anyone ever heard of or used Chris Squires at Spoked wheels at Peakhurst in Sydney? http://www.spokedwheels.com.au/

I drove 'em down there mate - was on the way to Melbourne anyway for the Anzac Day footy......

you could post a pair of hubs down to Darryl for not much money, but they would cost a few bucks to post back once built ?

I haven't used Chris Squires before but someone will have ....

I would have said an engineering shop but what lathe would work with a disk? Try Greg Ball Motorcycle engineering, if he is still around 8)
Have you tried the wreckers? scrounge around for some smaller ones possibly?

hey rob there very odd size disc :cry: i looked at a shop on ebay with 19 pages of disc and i could only find a rear in a smaller diameter with the same hole pattern the front i had no chance of finding a smaller disc with the same hole pattern
