    I'm surprised

    I hope he isn't selling them to other venders (instead of us), so they can mark them up :(

    geez, life is big pain in the ***. So what ! If you're wanting everything easy, then you've landed on the wrong planet.

    Just mark up the price to make it worthwhile, but don't quit. (I hate quitters)

    Not yet.

    I'm not sure what number I am, if your 28 & 29, I may be out of luck. I will update as soon as I hear anything new.

    Congratulations on the new arrival!

    And posting pics or your progress as you swap out the old SN 'guts' for the new VR4 parts would be fantastic. I'm sure a lot of people will really appreciate it.

    It did not come with the longer rear cover bolts, but I have access to that. The SN2000 already has the updated beville washer, so I did not need it.

    As my native language is not english I do not understand bellevue washer. What longer bolts are meant? What is the difference between the SN2000 and the SN89 regarding those parts? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

    See attached photo. The longer bolts are referring to the VR4 cover being thicker, thus needing longer bolts, see 26 in the diagram.

    The belleville washer(really it's a spring) is supposedly different between the years. I have no direct knowledge.

    thanks a lot Buck-Strickland,
    my kits are on the way. Nash built me I think the last ones. Had a lot of mails with him. He is a great guy. Regarding the longer bolts and case I hope that I do not get any issues with my valve cover.

    The diagram is great! As I can see the function of the washer 26 is to produce a nearly constant axial force between the races and the balls in order to enable a torque transmission. Am I right?
