[Spridgets] Sprites for 1963 Sebring

[Rick Fisk]

Ron,

The MED kit looks great and the price is amazingly low.  Because of it's design I'm sure it works very well.  But installation is beyond the average home mechanic.  The MED kit requires very precise machining, drilling, and thread tapping on the rear main bearing cap.  Gerard's kit bolts on using existing bolt holes.  Even I could do it (if I could afford it).    :-)

See you at Grattan.
