Yeah - I had to go back to silly little wheels for the exercise of doing the pits in order for them to accept ,
I ended up getting 4 new rims and tyres  205 x 70 x 15R, Fortunately I have managed to find a new home for them once the pits are done with, The track is still wider than its supposed to be at 1710 but being a commercial vehicle they have given 50mmm grace. I'll go back to the good looking ones as I really don't see there being any major stress on the stub axils with that amount of rubber on the inside,. the structural engineers at work agree.

Hey Bean good to hear Bud , well done! I've had the same  paperwork on my desk for a year now but the houses were more important and now are 99.9% complete, I will now have to travel the same pain full path asap,
 I would love to catch up and ask a few questions, any advice would be appreciated, just basics like where you went, who you delt with? Once someone has an understanding of Beddies, it will make the world of difference.

Me thinks I might have to have the next BBQ ?

cheers Dano
Can I go play now...?

Dano - I think the next BBQ is long over due .
I live about 200m from the new Bunnings in Mindarie, If you're ever up this way drop in for a beer and we can go through all the red tape maps that you are heading for -.It's not that bad once you know where you're going and who to deal with - I think after Tuesday when she is through the last hoop I'll  be able to relax and start enjoying her. The coastal get away's are starting to look appealing..

Carbon one of a kind wing is now complete, if the rest of the van comes out like this I'll be a very happy camper.
Wheel flares  and sunken number plate cavity next
