Trying to get to 20 units for the best discount. Currently at 11 sold (4/17/14)
$158 plus shipping.
Appears to be a high quality item. I asked the vender to extend the deadline so I could spread the word to my 914 World bretheren, and he agreed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Not sure for how long though.
I have mine ordered already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
No, you can't borrow it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

That is the one that I bought and am about to use. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with indexing holes or lever holes drilled. The steel is pretty heavy gauge, and I don't have drill press. Might have to take it to a machine shop or use this as an excuse to buy a drill press.

Perhaps that feedback will help the cause of the GB if anyone was on the fence.

I bought on also with the 4 spokes, the VW engine is so lite there is no warpage, and you can easly rotate the engine. it's no brainer.
those from pelican are overkill, and how many times are you going to build an engine.
