He also said (or maybe hinted) he MIGHT be working to re-release some of the old parts..........

Erich,
I installed one of these A&L kits recently (I still have another in the bag) on a 10T and had to do some modification to the "driver's" side brace where it connects to the chassis by the servo saver. The large knurled aluminum collar on the truck servo saver leaves little room to make the mod as described in the instructions without careful brace chamfering and using countersunk hardware. It is hard to see how it was done in the pic that you attached, but I would be interested in seeing how your trucks, and those of others, have this kit installed on trucks with the aluminum collared servo saver.

I recently had the chance to buy those barces, but one got lost in the mail, I'm here with a battery holder and just one brace 
, hope someone will make them one day maybe...
