I have received e-mail and snail-mail from Colin at Conversion Components. The
kits look very clean, the price is not outrageous. 2776 NZ$ with close ratio
gearbox as of June '98. I will probably go this route for my '71 TR6 in late
August or early September. I'm still getting psyched-up to spend that kind of
money.
