I called Rocky Mountain a few months ago, they had the Torrel kits. With the exchange rate then, it was around $1200 without shipping.
The wife decided my obvious improved safety was not paramount :( so if anyone wants to be my sponsor, I'm open to dialog :D

Thanks. I will give them a call.
Planning for the next project.

I have been trying to get a hold of those boys for several weeks now. Not several weeks straight, mind you, but a lot. I managed to get a call back, but they didn't leave a message. I'm not even sure that they have an active web site anymore. Keep me/us posted on your progress.


Cheers,


Eric

if you end up getting the kit I would really like to see it go on....i"ll bring tools and moral support - I'm really good at holding parts and intently looking like I know what I am doing

It can't be done easily, otherwise everyone would be doing it instead of buying a $1500 kit.

Man,...so you have to put in some wrench time.......how boring is to always buy stuff "off the shelf",....it's not that bad seriously!:) ;)

That's because most people are afraid( or lazy?) to use their head and figure it out.:confused:

Then tell us how to do it. You haven't done that yet.

My wrenches turn just fine.

Boy,...that's why I hate posting,...I'm sure my tone seemed pretty nasty, sorry about that,...what I should have typed was I'm sure that between you and Sven, you guys can figure it out. Most series owners could,...with the exception of Sean,....suckerfish would have a better chance of finding a cure for cancer than he would trying to figure discs out:D
Galen, I'm off around 4:30 or so,...I forgot your digits, hopefully you still have ine, give me a ring...it will be much easier:)

I noticed RN is selling the conversion from Timm Cooper but for $2,199.00. my build up will be a different conversion and cost me a lot less. But is it not for the purest or the faint of heart and if i was not putting that big engine in i would have stayed with drums and my original axles.

TeriAnn did the Torrel conversion from Rockey Mountain. Check it out here for those of you that did not know.
