Best bet is to buy a used set of clamshells, and put the poly mounts in them. Swap them out for your stock ones, and hopefully sell the stockers for the same money.

If you have a drill or grinder its only like 20-30min max of extra work. I would not by any means call having to open the clam shells and replace inserts the hard part of the job. it only adds a little time to it.

^+1 thats not the hard part. The hard part is getting them back in which isn't too bad if you have help.
