A LOT of us have completed this modification with great success. Where are you getting this KIT?

I purchase ALL my stuff through Gene Culley (CULTRAG Performance)

I know I'm bumping an old thread but is the consensus still that you can reuse the original pinion nut? I cant find one in stock at a dealer anywhere and the original looks fine
