        I apologize if what I said came out as if I was attacking you,
        I was just somewhat peeved that the information on this conversion
        was so hard to come by...and had to be elicited in an series of
        Questions-and-Answers.

        As you've proven...in the subsequent replies.

        In the case of the Eurospec conversion, a little more marketing
        won't hurt you, Eurospec, nor us even a teeny bit! It'd be
        advantageous for Eurospec if they had a web site, or you had a
        complete description of the kit, the options, the price(s), and the
        installation costs etc on your web site...
