Dylan, Martin said he would produce more if the demand was there. HIs sheetmetal guy retired. He needed a big order before hiring another guy who can make the sheetmetal parts. I have too much on my plate to reproduce these kits myself at the moment. I have a Ruf 3.2 in my 82 911sc. I thought about stealing that motor until I found out it was a 3.2 with bigger pistons and cylinders. In other words, the fit is different. It also started me to thinking that my 914-6 begs a meatier powerplant before ay of my Vanagons. I should really be talking more about selling this kit at this point. BenT |
