COMPONENT CHANGE ON MKI

After Garys Visit to the JMI factory he took two prototypes back with him to Italy. Upon further inspection he found that there were a few minor component rating issues. The JMI MKI wooden pedal was taken off a schematic posted on various websites and forums. This has been found to have be inaccurate (compared to the original prototype).

Gary is updating the JMI factory on Monday with the component changes and then we will be sending out ASAP.

This was an unfortunate delay but as Gary is the only man who would know this info we have to go on his authority.

We want these pedals to be 100% right so please bear with us
