UMMMM...........He's running v-drives with trannys.

not uncommon, my gidson is that way...just rebuilt my port V-drive, and used a seperate mounted BW 72c and you cannot convert the 71 or 72c's to change the rotation...and the v-drives don't care..they are gear to gear...you just swap the vent vs dipstick for whichever rotation that one is running
