I doubt very much BBMF have the resources to do it, and if they did, they'd be unused for the rest of the year! not great resource efficiency or planning and why wouldn't you go to a global expert organisation such a ARCo or BHHH who are fully resourced and tooled for the job?

I wonder if P7350 will come out with 5 spoke wheel hubs that are correct to the MkII.

Does not seem long since she was last repainted.
