In a word, no.  I will have the same problem.  The difference is that the
single rail Marina/Spitfire box has that single rail extending into the bell
housing area.  If you look at the bell housing from it you'll see the pocket
it fits in.  That's why there's a different gasket.  It might be possible to
machine out the aluminum housing and fabricate a little enclosure for the
rail-and I will look into this for my own conversion. But it may be a few
weeks from now.  If you can wait I'll let you know then-
