Hi Steve,If you think that the H bar and stylus would work, it would be the easiest solution. I opened a can of worms with trying to convert my BF to 2-4 min with a BE kit. The feedscrew on the 2-4 min conversion is a special one with an extension on the gear end to accomodate the 2-4 geartrain, so I have to use the BE feedscrew, which is shorter than the BF. The way I am thinking of making it work, is to make and extension for the right end of the BE feedscrew to fill in the missing space. I don't have any 6" cylinders and am unlikely to find any, so if it just plays standard length cylinders,that would be fine. By making the extension, I wouldn't be changing any of the original parts, permanently, so everything could be put back as original... if desired. What do you think of this idea?Curt
