It seems a few people want these and I`ve been in touch with Dedication to Detail in the US who are the manufacturer/supplier of them. They did point me in the direction of two UK distributors but the first one didn`t know what on earth I was talking about and the second one won`t respond to any emails, so it looks like I`ll be going back to the US.
Any takers?
Ben
will these fit my 6.5" meguiars pads? Any pictures?
Have you tried alex @ seriousperformance yet?

As you know Ben, I`d like one. :xyxthumbs
JJ_ The 14mm rotary adaptor we`re talking about, isn`t an actual backing plate. It`s just a small metal adaptor that fits onto a UK rotary spindle and allows you to use Edge2000 buffing pads. You can`t use any of your existing pads with it (unless you have some Edge2000 pads obviously).

What I`d like to know, is do the Edge 6" DA pads work with this rotary adaptor? Any idea Ben?

I don`t see why they wouldn`t. The size of the connector at the pad end looks identical, you just need a different adaptor itself to fit a PC.
I`ve been given details of another UK distributor down in Dorset so will give them a ring in the morning.

Right, I`ve got hold of this distributor and he has most things in stock.
Adaptors - £19.95+VAT
Pads (8") - £18.95+VAT :eek:
I said I`d put an order together and get back to him. So, who wants what?!

Here in Finland we can buy the Edge 2000 pads through Smartab (Autosmart) a UK brand if I remember correctly. :hm

I rang Auto Smart and they didn`t have a clue what I was going on about! I do now have details of my local distributor though so will give him a call and see if he`s anymore clued up.

I`ll definately have an adaptor Ben.
Do ya reckon it`d be cheaper in the long run to do a goup buy for the pads from somewhere like... http://www.premiumautocare.com/ed20fopa.html

I haven`t got a price on the 6" DA pads, but can find out if needs be.
