Driving myself potty fooking about with 10mm boa brakes!
Ive come up with a conversion kit from 10mm to 6mm but sourcing the spring carrier is proving difficult so looking at getting them made.
The kit consists of 4 sealed bearings, carbon steel axle, washers and nuts. Everything you would need to rip out the 10mm axle and fussy bearings and replace with easy fit parts.

Question is what you you be happy paying for such a kit?

Couple of development pics (ignore the temporary bolt and nut) :daumenhoch:

Everyones crying out for the 6mm kits there was an old bike shop that had a stock of 50+ original 6mm kits...I had a few but he stuck the rest on ebay and sold them all in a couple of days at £5 a pop?  I'm always reminded that the reason for the change to 10mm from 6mm was because they snapped easy! so If your making a kit to include a spindle make it a strong one  :daumenhoch:
There is no end to your talent fella look forward to seeing your results  :)

Thanks buddy, the need for 6mm kits plus Chubbys Rob Ridge build is what lead me to putting the two together.
what do you think price wise though?

Taipan:
I havent a clue? I guess what it takes material and time wise would determine towards the price? I know it would be better than all those bloody ball bearing falling everywhere lol.....I got a pair here that I need doing  ;)

So far its looking at round £15 if i can source the bits stock and around £20-22 if i cant
