what is a retro kit?

I'm only guessing,but if it's not standard equipment, it's retro[fitted] It will fit between the the two bottom pieces of the frame on the bottom, in front of the rear wheel.

I believe it implies that you can retrofit the kickstand to your bike, even if it's not OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Don't think it has anything to do with a vintage look or anything like that.

From Greenfield's site: "The RetroKit is designed to clear the wire of certain Shimano®* derailleurs with a new cutaway casting. This kickstand is mounted from underneath. Our unique new engineering allows for quicker installation, and it fits some unusual frames that our original stand may not without the need for adjustment." However it doesn't clear Shimano cables in all cases (e.g. Raleigh bike with Shimano shifters). I will have to modify mine with a file or Dremel tool to provide clearance.

If you have a vintage bike or one without the pre-drilled hole for mounting a bike stand you would need a mounting plate that clamps the bike stand to your bike close to the gear and deraileur cables where the bottom bracket is. The retro kit is the plate with cut away corners to help avoid any interference with the cables.

Yes, however, save your money and buy a better kit. This plastic case is junk. Hoppe's makes great products look around for individual pieces IE: brushes,rods patches etc. for your 40.

kit means one link with nuts for top & bottom. If you want to replace both side, you essentially have to buy 2. They are both same, you buy 2 pcs, hope this helps.

No, this kit is for the Original TV Series. There are additional parts available to produce the Pilot version or first season versions which were slightly different. There is also lighting kits available and photo etch kits for added detail.

I am hoping my current vacuum can be retro fitted so I can use the box as well. Hoping this will work...

I believe it has a rear USB input that gets fished around for a cleaner look. Yea you can find a kit anywhere for that. Hardware shouldn't cost more than 50 bucks.

Nope! Everything is retro-fit. You just set it in place and screw it on. You will need to drill some holes for the screws and also depending on which kit you purchase, may need to remove some door hardware, like the the locksets. The door can remain hung.

Yes that's the year and model I have. The kit included everything I needed.

All of the stuff that comes with this particular kit fits. There may be some accessories that you can buy separately that do not fit in that case.

It's been a while since I bought the kit. I'd like to suggest that you should contact the merchant. I think you will get the best answer from the merchant.

Check ebay. Original kits from the 60's and 70's are available. These may be more expensive but are worth it. They were made in the USA by Renwal. These are battery powered and have operating spark plugs. It is a far superior kit but a challenge to build. Search ebay, Renwal visible v8. Also revell took over the dies to produce this kit and they can also be found on ebay. Remember to follow instructions very carefully. Be sure to lubricate moving parts as instructed. Do not use Vaseline or none specific lubricants. You must use one made specifically for plastic. I use Labelle this is available on line or at model train hobby shops. Good luck.
