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

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
