Sorry, I missed your post the first time.

Um, this was discussed a while back.  One of the listers had put 
together a kit or was offering a service to do a conversion (maybe it 
was a modified pan or something, with hardware).  He was slightly 
criticized for trying to make a profit off his brethren, then it was 
pointed out like it often is, that he did the R&D, etc...

Anyway, I think my point is that it's not a simple bolt on. There is 
some extra stuff that needs to be done to get it to fit.  I'm sure 
you'll share when you get it figger'ed out! <g>

Also, (darn, had to come away from the computer just now, and 
have not idea why I typed "also".)

Maybe you can find something in the archives?  Do they exist and 
work?

Good luck,

Ken
