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.
