I have not done this particular conversion. Looking at it, though, it seem=
s as if it's a simple adapter that bolts to your existing mounting plate in=
place of the cartridge housing. For more direct experience with it, it pr=
obably wouldn't hurt to call Dave or Albert at The Roadster Factory, LEVEL =
2 SALES: 800-234-1104.
Unless others on the List have done this particular conversion?
