Swapping foot stirrups form and xm to an xp

[chumbilly1]

How hard is it to swap the foot stirrups from the xm to the xp? I am considering the new diamond S hood with the Xm panels and I understand that I would need the xm stirrups.

You will have to drop the skid to get new bolts in , I just had to pull a stirrup off mine to weld it up and I had to drop the skid but could reach with the track, drive shaft in place.... just used a cold chisel to remove the rivets and it only took 10-15 to remove , and about the same to reinstall.

I used 1/4 bolts for the upper two holes and 3/16 steel rivets for the rest.

Honestly the skid is the hardest part of this.

So if the stirrups are changed out how much else is involved in using the xm plastics?
