Nope. He tried to convince me the mcd one would bolt in with minor mods. I tried to explain the bolt holes were different distances. I didn't want to be drilling holes and ovalling out holes to make something fit. I ended up selling the cen christmas eve and bought back my old fg vw, then added the 4wd conversion

I hate 2 speeds myself. I sold my last one on a car and stuck with the nutech single speed. when they work they are cool, but I had so many problems with mine tio where it finally stopped shifting. then ended up running stock gearing on first gear. with the semi the second gear being larger was cutting my ball drive boots... not to mention getting the shift point set so it didn't shift in corners or it spun me out. coolest was having a high shift point and pounding the throttle to see the front lift off the ground when shifting... but that novelty wears off about as fast as doing wheelies on an rc motorcycle.
well the buggers. and you were the one that directed me to what they make and they scam your designs? you are definately a bigger man than I then. I'd have thrashed on their stuff haha
