Another IMS Solution?

just to clarify:

- LN's is meant to be a permanent replacement. **apparently not true anymore**
- pelican's is meant as a maintenance item, intended to be changed every time you perform a clutch job (not as efficient for those of us with TIPs)

- LN's is an entirely new design / race / bearings
- pelican's is essentially Porsche's single-row bearing with an updated seal and bolt

- LN has one kit for single row, and one kit for double row bearings
- pelican's is one kit containing a single row bearing, with a spacer if you have a double row bearing in your car.

- LN's includes a new bearing cover
- pelican's uses the one that's already on your car

** i'm not saying one is better than the other, that's for you to decide. it just seems that a lot of people have begun to think pelican is offering the same thing LN is offering, only at a cheaper price. if the price is right though (i believe $140 was mentioned as the target price), i can certainly see the market for it. if you do it at every clutch job - you've done 90% of the work to replace it anyway - and it becomes a normal maintenance item.

wayne did post a message on PP a few days ago that they've run over 25k miles on the pelican kit and no leaks. he's just waiting for the printed materials to be finalized.
