Title: FULL BBC RAIL KIT ON EBAY
Post by: WORD on May 29, 2008, 07:41:59 AM: Just notices this on EBAY. Looks like a pretty good deal. Does not appear to be any reserve set.

Ya I do not see a problem with buying used set up as long as it is close to your stringer width. I would even fill in the old holes in the mounts. ;D
