Don't forget to put termite stakes around the car when it's down for the winter.......I have driven a car with them in it the feel was good and they lasted a long time in his car.
I'd say go for it.
I also have a center door it does get a little cozy in there to work on the bands.
That's why when I did the motor 15 yrs ago I put in Kevlar bands. After the initial break in
I haven't touched the reverse band or the brake band in years. It has Rocky Mountains so
Brake band only works when pressed hard.
The low band only gets a 1/4 turn every year or two.
Those cotton bands were replaced couple of years. Especially before the Rocky Mountains went on the car.
