Suntour beartrap spindles

[ZippyDixon]

Right after reading a few different posts regarding the almost impossible task of getting hold of 9/16 threaded beartraps/XC2's I'm hoping to get someone to make some for me,any of you guys interested,obviously,I will get a set for myself first(once I manage to source some 1/2 sized ones) and trial them but will try to keep you informed of any progress,if you are interested,please let me know,but be warned this might be while.
    Cheers

would it be possible to make a 1/16'' thick threaded shim that screws in to crank arm, then a 1/2'' spindles could be used. might be easier and cheaper than having spindles made, and can be used with all pedals.

Have used them before on car engines etc but not on bike pedals,try a few ironmongers etc they might sell them seperately

I would be very interested in a set of 9/16 spindles - for some XC II - let me know what you discover.
