A bunch of people do this.
I understand there is a difference between the 1.9 and 2.1 rods, something

It doesnt matter though.


I've read plenty about this. There's some good information on thesamba.com
Furthermore, i believe all the rebuilt rods available for sale from Van-cafe
state they have 1.9 bolts......
