DONT ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS.
I HAVE NOT DONE THIS AND JUST POSTING UP TO HELP MEMBERS WHO MIGHT BE PURSUING THIS PROJECT.
and with that said, the next person to PM me questions about this will get a picture of my cats poop as a reply.
I found an old DIY write up by ClubAristo. I never got around doing it, but it was pretty informative so I thought I'd translate some of it, and post it here.
you'll need to install Japanese text to open up the pdf files (CAD drawings).
I'm just simply sharing this as resource. Don't ask me for translation, how-tos, or anything like that. And of course, do this mod at your own risk.
With that said, here's a magnificent write up by ClubAristo...
