Group Buy: Edge 2000 14mm rotary adaptor

**benpocock** · 07-19-2005, 01:04 PM

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?

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 - Ã‚£19.95+VAT

Pads (8") - Ã‚£18.95+VAT

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.

Ok Sorry I didn`t help BenP, maybe it`s just here then? :nixweiss

**imported_pugoman** · 07-20-2005, 05:24 AM

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
