Couldn't agree more but we both know there are lots of people who get in over their heads or for other reasons -- pride, price, time, whatever -- won't go professional. A full kit would at least give a starting point.

After hearing the story of the one professional already mentioned here, and one on another thread, just wonder how many more have also had those experiences. There used to be a large "rebuilder" of parts here that many local garages and stores did business with. Turns out their version of a rebuild was mostly cosmetic. That was found after there were so many comebacks and then complaints that the state BAR got involved. Rebuilder closed up here but probably just moved to a state or country that didn't care as much. They were "professional".

Might work for some things but the only problem with that approach with BTVs is there is not a large supply to keep coming back for and the first one can be a disaster.
