Greetings,

After some = email exchanges,=20 and general soul searching, I called Bruce today to see what my options=20 were.

One is the = Renesis, at=20 about $5700 complete from him. He's got a few of these in stock = BTW. =20 At this point, I just can't imagine starting over with an engine = installation,=20 and that's just about what it would be. Can't think of much that = wouldn't=20 have to be modified, so this just ain't gonna=20 happen.

Second = option is the=20 easiest of all, and quite a bit cheaper, so that's the way I'm = going. =20 I'll have Bruce supply two new (ceramic coated) 9.7 rotors, and I'll = keep my=20 good front rotor for the single rotor project. I may let = him get=20 it coated at the same time, haven't decided. Bruce will also = supply a new=20 center, and rear housing, and will port them to match the front housing = I=20 already have (which he originally ported).

Anyway, that's = the=20 plan. I'll sent Bruce an email tonight with the shopping=20 list.
