I purchased 2 kits from Mike in my initial order. I live in the UK and have to pay for International shipping too. I liked the Ten-T conversion so much that I went to order more conversion kits but found only 1 in stock to my disappointment. I did order it anyway.

The kit is not junk - it includes everything to get the conversion going - yes there a couple of screws that I needed to complete were missing but it was no big deal. The battery strap was a bit short - again a double sided velcro strap sorted that out. BrianG photos were easy enough to use as a reference to put the conversion together. I think the kit is simple enough to work out where the screws need to be fitted. After all this is the fun part of the conversion in my opinion.

I think the kit is well designed - today I wanted to lock the centre diff and had to only unscrew 4 screws to take the who assembly out. Did not have to move the motor or mess with the gear mesh. So I think Mike has designed the kit well when it comes to maintenance and repair.

I agree that at first glance the kit appears 'expensive'. However there is nobody else out there who takes the time to design these motor mounts and kits including custom Delrin spur gears.

I asked another chap sometime ago to make me a custom FG motor mount for me and he wanted a minimum order of 20 mounts. I could not afford to pay for 20 mounts. That would have been thousands of dollars. I cannot machine these parts myself so I am sure glad somebody out there like Mike is willing to do it for a reasonable price. So I think considering this - it is only fair that Mike tries to make a living by selling this custom mounts and kits.

I am certainly waiting for the Baja conversion and will be happy to pay the asking price.
