Hi Gordon, any update on these ?

Hi David,

I was over in the UK last week (the factory was officially closed for the summer break) and have had a bit of a talk over the new design. They'd probably work out a bit cheaper (still figuring out the tooling costs) and would have the same load-rating as the PD1881, but wouldn't be as strong (the PD1881 is massively under-rated).

However, if it does go to production, the new rim would be a 2016 release.

Cheers,

Gordon

Thanks Gordon,

Are you able to provide any insight to the design of the new wheels? Will they be a variant of the PD1881 or something completely different ?

David

Very interested in these
Please keep us posted

Hi All,

Been out on the Nullabor and have only just seen this thread. The plummet in the dollar means the major reason for developing a new Compomotive doesn't really apply anymore. And as I'd have to fund it (in British Pounds!), it isn't going to happen any time soon.

Regards,

Gordon
