Nice! I ordered a set. I will most likely fab up some 3d printed adapter. If they turn out alright, I will sell some.

Let us know how it goes.

I drew up the adapter about a year ago, but have not bought a printer yet and not sure how strong the printed parts would be compared to the stock parts I modded.
