« on: June 26, 2012, 10:40:20 PM »

I have been reading the forums and seen numerous conversions done from dmf to smf. I too want to do the conversiondue to the price of the dmf.
I've found the valeo kit and the beck/arnley kits

has anyone used these kits?
and has anyone found any NON-BMW flywheeland or clutch parts that will work too? i.e audi,vw,mazda chev,ford and etc....

thanks for any feed back
