B&M Changeover kit

I picked up a B&M Changeover kit, p/n 30299 at a local swap meet. I don't have any instructions on how to put this on or what extra parts I need. Can some one post the instructions or post a pic of this installed on their car?

I also noticed that another user on this board mentioned that B&M mentioned to them to get outer T/A bracket p/n #10034259. The one that was left on by previous owner was p/n #10018100..can I use this or will I need to purchase the other T/A.

I called B&M today but they were closed and I wanted to get to work on this today or tomorrow.

Thanks alot.

Riley,
It's the B&M changeover kit for the tranny. I'm converting to a turbo 350 from a 200c and need some instructions or a pic so I can figure out how it's assembled to the tranny and stuff.
It's in the latest Jegs book, page 144, p/n #130-30299

this right?

The three headed monster attatches to the mount and the three heads go to the torque arm.

you should have checked out Steve Spohn's kit...much much tougher looking.

Yeah that's the one.
The only kit I see that Spohn has is $355 is that the one your talking about?

The particular torque arm bracket you need will depend on which torque arm you have... there are 3 styles of TAs IIRC, each of which uses a different bracket, just use the one that fits your TA.

Won't your original torque arm mount bolt to the B&M bracket?
I made mine from a steel plate and bolted my original mount
from my T-5 to it. From the looks of Riley's picture, you should be
able to use yours, too.

Spohns stuff is a little spendy..but the engineering is awsome ans well as the materials used...I agree $80 bucks is much more appealing to the wallet...Im fighting my 700r4 today..put the new tranny in and my new converter slid forward and got in a bind. I didnt notice it until I had it all buttoned up Looking for things to look for as far as damage....Not to change thre topic but HELP!
