How it works

From first question to first drive

Four steps, and an engineer on the other end of every one of them.

  1. Step 1Choose the right kit

    Tell us the platform, the gearbox you want to run and how the vehicle is used. An engineer checks the fitment — bellhousing, transfer case, driveline and loom — and confirms which kit suits your build before you spend anything.

    Talk to an engineer
  2. Step 2Order and pay

    Order online and pay securely by card through Stripe, or ask us for a proforma invoice and pay by bank transfer. VAT is handled for your destination and shipping is quoted for your address before you commit.

  3. Step 3Build and dispatch

    Components held in stock ship straight away. Complete kits and mounted powertrains are built to order in our own workshop — we confirm the lead time when the order is placed and send photographs as your build comes together.

    Shipping and delivery
  4. Step 4Install with support

    Every kit ships with our step-by-step installation video and printed documentation. If something does not match what you see on the vehicle, you can reach the engineers who built your kit directly.
