[QUOTE="hadronuk, post: 131516, member: 1866"] Hi Peter, I think AVO have just decided to save on advertising costs on the basis the units are well known now. Re the rim, there are various descriptions of how to fit it in old copies of MPH by E.M.G. Stevens, R. Kemp etc, but the Lucas bits aren't available now and anyway I don't think they work well with our particular Miller unit. So I made my own arrangements. A little cutting and filing of the rim to fit the miller latch was needed. The bolt holes need to be slotted to allow adjustment for a close fit. If you have the skills and patience, (I don't) a bit of stainless strip to cover the gap would look nice. But it's not at all noticeable on the bike. Big Ed may be able to offer an alternative method, as he also uses one of these rims. Cheers, Rob [ATTACH type="full"]38982[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]38983[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
