Origin 8 SS conversion kit - thoughts?

Got a quick question, hoping for some help. I'm converting a 70's Kabuki Submariner to SS. The old wheels are shot, but I have a wheelset laying around w/ a 7-speed Shimano rear hub. I found an Origin 8 conversion kit for $20 that will do the job. Any have any experience with these? Did it work for you?

I know there is a better way to do this, but I don't have the cash to get a new crankset, BB, wheels, etc right now. Plus this bike isn't worth that much investment. The conversion kit looks like it will let me keep a lot of that stuff and use spacers to adjust the chainline.

Thanks in advance for your knowledge.
