How to Install a TAV on a 2005 Mini Baja

[Subzero]

I have a Mini Baja MB165 that I would like to put a TAV torque converter on. What ( if any ) modifications will need to be done? Where is the best place to buy the TAV at? Heres a picture of the bike.
Thanks

Should bolt on with just a little trimming on the back side to clear the rear dip stick

Ok so just a little grind on the back of the TAV. Now I just need to know where's the best place to buy one and I'm set.

Did you look at the OldMiniBikes.com at the top of the page?

Just looked, they have it! I looked awhile ago but couldn't find it there. I feel stupid nowut: .I'll order it soon, can't wait!

It looks like they have two kinds- Is this the right one for my bike http://www.OldMiniBikes.com/TAV2-1-Drive-12T-35-C218352A.html ?
Thanks

You'll need a 40/41 chain so I think your limited to a 10 tooth with a 3/4 crank Dia. driver.

It looks like they have two kinds for 3/4 shaft; 12T and 10T , which kind would be best?
Thanks

9 tooth with a 420 chain.
That means buy the one for 41 chain, use a 420 chain ( you will need to buy some chain ) and then buy a 9 tooth C type sprocket to replace the 10 you have.

OR you could just run the 10 but that makes for some miss match in the gearing some people find objectionable.

5/8" Bore C Type Sprocket 40/41 chain

So this one here Comet TAV2 - Torque Converter - 3/4" 10T #40/41 - 218353A and the 9 tooth gear. I will probably just replace the chain while I'm at it ( only has a little more life).
