I agree David. "Piece of piss" as we like to say ;)

Put me down for 6 x 40 hole rims, and as many 32/36 fronts to match. I'm certain if Chris could get them down here to Oz I could help distribute at least 20 pairs of rims if they had a 40 hole option. Heck, if he wants to ship downunder directly from Taiwan it'd make it all the easier.

I don't know why it seems impossible. The rims are already being made and it's just a different drilling pattern. I know there is easily the demand to cover a small run if it were made known they are available.

ciao,

p.s. ironically my Harden Bacon Slicer's are 36 holers front and back
