Lewis,
As you're aware, I have the AMC based T5 conversion kit, but I'd
definielty go with Tom's new kit if it were available when I did my
car. It's much less hassle and well engineered from what I saw when I
visited Tom's house-shop a couple years back.
The correct AMC T5 tailhousing has been extremely difficult to find for
a number of years.
