Wow! Great Story and very cool vendor!
I have a simular MN12 story. Used MN12 tranny was suppose to have a BUNCH of new parts. It didnt. It did have a hardned output shaft but thats about it.
I had it upgraded to a T-60/60 conversion!
WELCOME ABOARD RICK and JOB WELL DONE!

I know my slightly modified stock differential will be the next weak link and when it goes, Rick has my business. I am going to try to prolong it's life, though.

Wait.....Rick has other customers?????
With the instant reponses and willingness to answer my million and one questions I thought I was the only one!
Another vote to Rick being an outstanding vendor, I have my M12 sitting in my garage waiting to be installed (that Rick drove from Maryland to NJ to meet me with) and my diff will be getting here soon.
If you're on the fence, get your a$$ off it, you won't find a better person to deal with...PERIOD!

Guys I have to chime in as well. Called Rick last week to see about getting a diff built with 3.90 gears. I told him I knew I was going to ask a lot of him seeing as the install was going to happen the week of the 16th. It was the 4th when I first contacted him. I was expecting even with good luck and a good vendor to have the diff arrive on the 18th or 19th which was going to be o.k. since I'm having a cam installed first.
Rick communicated with me the entire process and I got tracking two days ago on the 9th. GREAT SERVICE!!!
Thanks again Rick! I'm looking forward to the end of next week when I can finally drive the car.
