In addition, does anyone have a used kit to sell?
I have contacted them and received paper and pics and it's
all fine and good minus the price tag.
I have aquired a '80 datsun 210 5 speed with 190K miles
so the thing needs to be rebuilt and when I went pricing around,
the total rebuild stuff was alarmingly high.
Thus making a 5 speed conversion extremly expensive.
Anyone got used stuff or idea on how to make much cheaper?
