True, I have been careful to not assume with my new team.

But the point I was trying to make (However badly I communicated it), he plans to use what's in the KOP for drive train, which I don't think would cost that much money to buy additional materials and spares for, even if it is a shifting gearbox (which I doubt will be the case).
