In addition to Jack's comments on Conversion suppliers, there are a
number of U.S. based (I am presuming you are located in the USA).
A couple good ones are TSI Automotive located in Ohio and Woody's
Wedge Shop located in Massachusetts. Both entities are run by very
knowledgeable and friendly people. I believe TSI has a website,
although I understand Woody may not. Regardless, you can find
their individual telephone numbers on the Monster Vendor List.
Lastly, if you haven't already, you may want to invest in a factory
TR7 ROM. You will most likely find it helpful before and after making
your conversion, and it is absolutely indispensable while maintaining
the car in its present state.
Larry, Good Luck.
