Welcome to the site.
Can't help you on those MV's but suggest that you run a search for the info. first.

It is amazing all the topics that have been addressed and the info. already in existence.

The Reb kit was a product of Memphis Equipment Company - 901-774-0600.

If you have issues with it, call before 4 central time sometime in the next year - their expert is retiring in about a year - and much knowledge is too.

What issue are you having with the fuel can holder?

Used canvas covers may be a bit tough - most FDs recovered theirs - and everyone else left them out in the weather.

HTH,

Fuel can holders are universal...so it should just bolt right on...there are still some canadian folks with original canvas for the units... I sold the last of my original stuff just a couple years ago... the repros are OK, by the way... it is a two piece top....

What do you want to know about the Powershift? I've got the same thing on mine and it works like a champ. Just like a manual valve body on an automatic; choose low or high forward HIWAY, not HILL, and run thru 1, 2, 3, and 4, and same for downshifting. Just watch that 2-3 downshift, it's a REAL doozy.
