Well, that's true. I enjoy doing all my own mechanical work even though it
would be "cheaper" to hire a mechanic when considering the time spent. It
certainly depends on the individual and I'm sorry if I didn't appreciate
Gary Boone's effort and time spent on these Dizzy conversions in my original
reply.
BTW, for those do-it-yourselfers out there, be sure to check out these
