I purchased my parts from MBT also, but through Chris. He is a great help. I bought 993 adapters and some e-brake parts etc. I waited about 3-4 weeks for the adapters, which I expected. The only thing I had to wait for (about 4 more weeks), were the e-brake adapters and the M/C parts. You're right about the hubs. Mine were also bare and my spindles were also. I expected the spindles to be b/c I knew they were used but the cores I sent had a better finish on them. Again, no biggie. They can be painted. Chris DID ask me if I wanted them powdercoated and I declined. You had a little better luck than I. I couldn't even get in touch with MBT directly. Someone else referred me to Chris. I don't understand why someone doesn't make these kits in the states
Its aggrivating enough ordering parts from overseas, especially large items like these. Someone like CSP or even Topline should look into this. The Remmele kit is, well, you have to buy the Remmele kit. There aren't any more options. Someday I guess.
