Re: Preparing for a Series 1 Retrofit

Thanks for thin insight everyone. I have the means and the ability
to turn out a bushing if necessary, however, I have little time to do

this weekend to see, but I'm nearly certain that they are Taper
Locks. I will let the group know how it goes.

Best Regards,
Rob, MI
