I like this idea. What is the difference between the NBS flange and the OBS flange? Just curious. There is a template contained in speedy's post about OBS measurement of 3.55 x 2.84.
I probably have between 150K-200K on my conversion and I would do it again. I think it's a very worthwhile mod for both maintenance and performance.
