    I am definitely, completely, and absolutely in on this.
    As a matter of fact, ill pay extra to perform a test fitment with a guarantee that if i find a needed improvement, i can get a replacement. (inspection backed by metalworks shop including german mechanics master)

    I am somewhat skeptical though, on the structural integrity of the design, that is if it is what i think you are doing. If you provide a rough sketch, i would feel better.

    in any case, considering the amount of material i think would be used here, if we dont have to pay exorbitant design fees, each item could cost roughly $30. [/optimistic ideas]

    Id be curious to see how these sleeves are mated to the stock spindle. They don't exactly have a light load. Like Addis said, are the stock spindles going to need machining?

    Also, if you really want these things to sell you're going to need to provide a solution for brakes (stock bmw parts would be primo).

    Either way, props for actually doing it.

    Great idea.

    bingo!:hitler:

    A dust cover for the back side of the bearing will have to be made? Why dont you make them and supply them with the adapters? ;) I'm definitely down for a set if theyre under $200/pair.

    Will

    you dont have to get mine from t3h deutschland, and a dust cover will have to be made

    and with our ultra precise machines, you can get an almost ground perfect finish


    my brakes for this setup:

    You were faster than me :)



    www.300mmde. has brakes for this setup and the Massive Lee's 4-lug caliper adaptor and 5-lug rotor hat combo would work also.
