* THICK rim -- no more cracked rim with over-tightened screws or with a super heavy motor.

* THICK base -- no worries about bolts pulling through even with motors 2-3x heavier than we use now.

Still awaiting our new cones and surrounds to arrive... then we can do some building and show off what these can do !

Mocked up on a motor with our new spacer ring... very similar to the Z v.3 18" spacer but the ID matches our new frame base and this one is a bit thicker to allow a bit more air flow as the new frames have more displacement potential. The same spacer works on all sizes 10/12/15 as well.

* Inner air passage on spacer

* This is a 12" frame and motor mock-up; proportionately looks alot like the SA-8 v.2

Can't say I'm in love with non-standard spider sizes, but they sure look nice and functional.
You can glue an 8" spider to any of them still //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif They have multiple landings -- but our 8" landing is over-sized to also accept the 8 3/8" model.

There is enough glue pad that most 8, 9, and 10" units will glue right on.

 
Can't wait to order a couple baskets cones and spiders. Are the spacers the same. For all baskets or each basket have a different Spacer?

Flexibility is great. Thank you for pushing some innovation.
