Marty will NOT sell a G50 kit on its own. This comes only as part of a
complete 911 engine/trans kit. He DID promise to sell me a trans-only kit,
but then made excuses every time I tried to actually order it! And it was
very expensive.

Someone in Germany is making a copy of Claer's G50 kit, but I have not been
able to get any info on it.
