You can get profile cut spacer rings made.
We've used them at work before to fix opposite problem, ie bead loose in clamp...
Take a rim into a engineering place that can profile cut and see what they say...

However, My last set of bead locks always had a small gap, I never worried about it...

Yip, Bluetooth headsets in helmet are great! I use for trials and they last all day, can talk to navi when there out of truck guiding recovery or when walking course before driving it. Biggest thing we found was to 'pair' them together away from the pits so other devices didn't interfere with them ...

Was impressed with your rig on the weekend, thought you'd just drive everything!! I was co-driving in Nissan with PTO, plenty of grunt and it winches in and out, sticks out the front a little too much for my liking but incab air operated freespool is a god send!! We put winch camera above it the ...

Heard Howie's played with ABS units for powering his hydrolic lockers, might be worth a call to him to see what he found out...

I'll look at using that for my next Howie locker!

Also if the trip causes other damage and a claim for is made against you, you will most likely be personally libel. Again LROCA and other NZFWDA clubs have this covered. It ...
