Several people have done it. Pictures are worth a thousand words.

See Junkster's and FrankD3000's galleries for fotos.

Many thanks to all those that have taken the time to post great close-up photos of their modified adapters!  :)

This certainly gives me a few ideas of how to install a set of air-shocks to my 857!  [smiley=laughing.gif]

Cheers, Lee
