Just wanted to post some feedback on the 916 gearbox conversion kit that I bought from Martin Bott (bugat5speed) for anyone who is thinking of purchasing the kit. The kit is posted for sale in the Member Vendor section of this site. Please keep in mind that I have no affiliation with Martin other than the fact that I bought his kit from him at the full price that he has listed.
First off I would say that Martin is very responsive and eay to deal with. Despite the fact that I'm in Los Angeles and he is in Germany he quickly answered all of my questions and shipped out the kit very quickly. When I received the kit, it was exactly how he described it in his post and the quality of the parts and welds was very very good. I'll be putting them in my 915 in the coming weeks and can certianly post pics as the project progresses. It's my understanding that a couple vendors here in the States are selling the kits for Martin, Auto Atlanta being one, but I'm not positive. I can say that dealing with Martin was as it should be, and I would not hesitate to buy from him again in the future. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has them. Have a good one. Mike |

I agree. Quite the gentleman. We do stock his kits although quite expensive, and they work very very well and allow use of the stock muffler unlike the other kit out there. If you install a 915 into your 914 this is the kit to have.
