YerDugliness,
Not wanting to rob DSG of his track, but no my friend doesn't and he's not much of a wrench turner. When I see him next week I will ask him who did the assembly. It was done quite some time ago and I believe he bought it loaded in the bay. You can see it in the fotos.
I knew him about a year before I found out he had an ERA40.

Every time I see him he is in a Cobra replica (or a Miata!), DOH!
It looks like a lot of folks are happy with ERAs. They were referred to in literature back in the 1990s as well made cars.
