All I can see listed is gt2871 then after that it goes to gt2876, so the answer seems to be no. Why is that???

Because there isnt any point them tooling up for an 72mm intake wheel, it would be too similar to 71 to justify the cost, so they jump up in a 5mm increment.

Yes I do indeed mate, well spotted.

The 71 or 76 refers to the wheel size, so I meant to say they dont do a 72 as its too similar to a 71, not an 82/81!

Thanks for correcting, i will take a well deserved on the number, although hopefully my point was still clear anyway!
