They are great! Top blokes.
The hubs on these are about 10-12 mm thick as well!
I asked about safety and was assured that they provide enough thread for the wheel bolts. I can't remember how many threads were considered safe for m14?
But I would be interested to know the thickness of a std vw drum or other manufacturers for that matter.
I think it's good to question the safety of modifications, we all bolt custom stuff on, and don't always think about it too much, as long as it looks 8)

Yep fitted them to 2 of my own buses (including the new one) and to about 4 or 5 customer buses, they work really well. Use all VW components apart from the carrier which is a custom bit from Futbus, speak to Dave Howes, nice bloke but like me sometimes hard to get hold of :lol:
