Hi,

Sounds like a good project

Do you just have the 12a block, or do you have the rest of the ancillaries, gearbox etc?

[johnny5]

I know a few guys who have done them. Mainly in their native countries of Africa.

Most important question though: have you pulled the 12A down and are the housings any good?

[johnny5]
