Thanks, Bob.  The gist of the answers I have received say that it is possible
but not "just a bolt-on."  This is basically what Schaller says in his "book."
The guy with whom I talked the other day (and what prompted me to post the
question) had a kit from Schaller and found it so difficult that he gave up on
the project.  But I have gotten several answers with references to other
"kits" - including the one in Germany.  I guess I'll have to eventually post
all this to the list, since it has generated a lot of interest.  Cheers.
