Direct replacement.

Just make sure you use the right studs in the box!

studs are bolts with a thread on one end, and another thread on the other end!

I think what Jano means is the studs at the back of the box, they will prob need changing over.

You can fit a S1 box into a FRST or S2 but not S2or FRST box into a S1. My bro fitted his old Onion up with a S1 box. Improved things dramatically

Anyway, good luck wiv the change over hope all goes smoothly!

I hope it lasts more than two weeks, cause its OAP you know!

Just make sure its rebuilt well. theres no point doing these things more than once!
