Can it be done without any problems or issues?
I'm not interested in some wierd mods including the seasaw still in place...

what i most of all want to keep is the bladegrips and hub.
can i get parts to get this done, and what parts do i need?

Convert. Na get the Align FBL new head design and the shorter main shaft. Lowering the head makes it handle better

+1, don't do any mods. They never work right. Buy a built for purpose FBL head. There are many manufacturers out there.

You are better off replacing the entire head:

This is true but I hope you can afford to get a genuine FBL head setup someday, direct to swash is the only way to go. Huge difference

Thanks for the input guys!

Ended up with ordering a RJX head instead.
