If you build this kit and used the vert motormount, you have to install the belts in the opposite order than the instructions. Noticed it too late and had to tear some of it down to redo. Also I kept the stock top deck and just dremelled a bit of it to work with vert mount. Looks to be top quality kit. Best instruction manual that I've ever seen. Will work on it more tonight and hopefully finish it up tomorrow so I can practice Sunday. Looking good so far.
Don't use an electric screw driver. Just man up and use hand tools. The plastic threads will thank you for it!
I don't think running a tap through all the plastic parts before assembly would be a bad idea if you didn't want to kill your wrists though.
