    Hi Tombie,

    Very excited about this possibility - good on you. I recognise those wheels. Can I ask how much modification looks to be required to provide clearance for the brakes?

    A few months you say?? Really interested in the process and progress..

    I'm working with them, it's a matter of volume to justify the changes to the tooling.

    It's not a substantial change, and the rim from the outside will look exactly the same as it does now.

    We are building the test jig at the moment...

    Only challenge is if they can be modified sufficiently to clear a 4.4 rangie brake calliper- I suspect this may push the limits... But will test...

    Lots of chips and a large screw as well

    A good example of BFG KO, high speed k's on rocky roads.

    Time will tell,but they say the chipping issue is sorted in the KO2.
