Henry C. ★★★★★

The brass stock and bolts are all there, no scavenging trips to the hardware store needed, which is rare for these kits. I've got a Sherline lathe and the tolerances on the castings are forgiving enough that a beginner like me got it running without cursing too much.

Madison ★★★★★

Machined the cylinder yesterday and the bronze ports lined up perfectly with the mounting holes. The included hardware is exactly what you need for a clean build.

Madison B. ★★★★★

The hardware is all there and organized well enough that I didn't have to hunt for missing screws, which was my biggest worry. Machining the base on my Sherline lathe took a few evenings, but the fit was precise and the engine runs smoothly once you get the alignment right.
