    Two reasons for this thread is people are asking for more and I know some have thrown in the towel. I'd rather you guys that have thrown in the towel sell your bits to those who want to do the project.
    Second is to get feedback from those who did it .....

    I'm in the "did not install yet" group, and it's looking like I might not ever do it (not a slam at the kit, just my particular situation).

    Interested in getting a set of these. Anyone who wants to sell an unused set please contact me.

    I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

    You always need better brakes on the Marauder as the factory ones are marginal at best.
