Did you mean "Black Sea", aka Constantine? I received a rebuilt TT from him recently (w/o shaft), and sent my core back in the same box, with a return label he provided. I only had to remove and re-install the shaft. Free shipping both ways, great service.
You should come up and help me maneuver my drivetrain back into the car, and I'll return the favor. I'm just waiting on the proper ear-clamp crimping tool I've ordered, for the rebuilt cooler lines. You'll have to find your own helper with small hands for the upper bell housing bolts. I passed by your vicinity twice over the weekend on the way to Bennington College rehearsals and concert - forgot to contact you.

Hi Mike,
Pack job looks great and it should survive the trip with no problem!
Will advise when we get it.
Curt, looks like your drive shaft install went smoothly!
Cheers,
Constantine
