BTCheckedT. Sorry say that no, it will not fit.  The header is designed for
the cross-flow head and therefore the spacing is wrong.  On the 10V the ports
are not evenly spaced, on the 20V they are.  I believe the tubes are also too
wide to fit with their flanges even if you could bend them (good luck) to
correct the spacing.

Good idea though, it is a beautiful header.  Probably cost a mint to produce.

HTH!
