I was sold regardless of the price.. It's the same as the first time speaking to Kevin at Process west, he knew his product, he backed his product and had data to go with it..We'll soon find out I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's back at CMS now, should be good this time. I agree Chris from Gibsons is very easy to deal with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be measuring pinion angles when I install mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
