Don;t believe they are in production as yet - I am waiting for Alex at Transporterhaus to email me as soon as the 2.5 inch are ready

Alex, who is basically Transporterhaus in the UK is having them forged - he also goes by the name of Goveng on ebay, so perhaps may be selling them via ebay.
I am waiting for a set as 3.5 inch drop you get from the usual flipped spindles is a bit too low for me, but 2.5 inch should just about do it.
Was hoping to have them for Xmas & he told me they are due to be in production in December, but I am still waiting & he hasn't replied to my texts

Don't do facebook.
Just had a quick look on the transportehaus website & it now shows a piccie of the forged spindle, but only mentions 64-67?
My bus has a 62 beam, so hope they are doing them for early buses.

The interesting thing for me is they are apparently made up in the same configuration to standard spindles, rather than all the pressure in the wrong direction. Very interesting and could be a great alternative.

It will be awesome to get forged 6".
Wagenwest in the states have been offering up to 6.5" but they were cut and welded spindles.
