Good Morning,
Having reviewed several notes on this, the only thing I would add is to be
aware of
the parking brake pivots. They need to be relocated to the tub as in the GT-6.
If you don't do this the cables will no doubt run afoul of the rotoflexs'. Of
course
if one isn't interested in the hand/parking brake this is a nonissue. I chose to
maintain the parking brakes functionality.
Enjoy,
Ken Boetzer
