You want Wayne Renga jandwelectronics@yahoo.com.

He is 10 minutes from Lancaster and is the owner and developer of the BCR. He does great upgrade work.

Tell him that Hugh Laubis sent you!


All the best,
Hugh

Bob,

Although he's not in your area, Marty Fitzhenry is the best ever at PS2 upgrades.He's an authorized MTH tech and has done 100's of upgrades.

One thing to note is that the flywheel on the G-5 has to be turned down thinner on a lathe or replaced with one that is thinner to make room for the tach reader mount. I would offer to to it but do not have a lathe. Had a friend turn down mine. It has to be turned down just short of the set set screw.

Bob,

I can do the conversion for you. I have done many and I am MTH factory trained.

Eric,
Thanks for the offer. I am still trying to decide to go it alone or let someone else deal with it. I have your e-mail.

Thanks, Bob H.

Thanks for the heads up on the flywheel.
