Know how you feel – don't think I will get this through in Switzerland either – everything like that has to be homologated AFAIK.

And I now suspect the change in overall diameter at the front from 17"/55 to 16"/50 will exceed the permissable tolerance, so I may not be able to go the 16" route. Still time till Spring to sort it, but beginning to wonder if it will happen.

These test engineers are such pedants. Hope you lot in the UK realise how lucky you are in that respect.

Yeah I appreciate that Swiss especially get a raw deal on car mods - sorry. The move to 4 bolt hubs was one of necessity as a 5 bolt option was a gazillion years away (if at all) despite a frustrating few months. However since we've done the added benefit of much lighter hubs has added ot he concept of lighter rotational mass so I'm pleased it has worked, albeit it can't for everyone. Ideal World - new lighter design 5 bolt hub and lightweight race wheels, 16" so they can use Yoko's. I'll keep working on it for people, I ain't quit yet.
