Paul had some units when I bought his stuff but he had NO records about where
he had gotten them so I have no more- as far as I know Rivergate is the only
place right now.
I have referred a few of my friends to get the Rivergate units and they are
the least expensive and best fitting units that I know about.

Does anyone know of these are being sold by another entity, other than
Rivergate that is?

Paul used to sell a right angle geared adaptor that fit the datsun trans and
the sprite cable. He provided the gears to correct for your gearing/diff/tire

combo.
