Er.....see what you mean, i would ask for his number. Seems a bit strange though? If you are going to sell some thing i thought you woudl put effort into it or is that just me :huh:
Be very careful with buying 410 and Rocklobster transfer boxes without seeing them.
I know a significant number of people have been mis-sold (either accidentally or deliberately) the wrong box.
For those converting they have often been sold a 413 box masquerading as a 410 box ans some people have been sold a 410 box whilst being told its a "Rocklobster" box.
I have built up 3 Rocklobsters over the years. For the first one someone tried to sell me a 413 box telling me it was a 410.
On the third set someone sold me a 410 box claiming it was a 413 (So I gained on that one as a 410 box is worth more!)
ALways go for the "collect" option rather than postage and count the turns on the output to verify the box you are buying
With Rocklobster conversions there is a good way to join the gears inside and an amateur way. The amateur way (bodge welding) fails very quickly.
I strongly recommend Rockwatt as a good source of Rocklobster boxes that are built with care.

I echo Martin's comments, I've just fitted my Rockwatt Rocklobster, still waitning to get the gearstick bent so I can use 4WD but he's a top chap and I'd much rather trust his work than others out there. His reputation is as such!
He can be contacted via difflock and his username is rockwatt.
