Folks,

Having done the conversion from carb to PI with my TR6, I was interested to 
see the above item on eBay.  When I looked at the picture, I realized that 
the "complete system" is in fact missing 2 vital components:  1) the 
PI-type distributor/metering unit pedestal (the metering unit bolts to 
this), and 2) the longer double geared distributor/metering unit drive shaft.

These 2 items are required on all PI systems and are integral part of the 
PI system - without these 2 items, you will not be able to use, let alone 
convert to PI.  Rimmers in the UK has them listed (back order do I 
hear????) for $200 + shipping/customs charges.

I have exchanged emails with the seller, Robert Bennett, and he confirms 
that these parts are missing - although he also still claims that it is a 
complete system????
