Hi Johnny,

I've not done that, but a couple of folks have posted pictures of front shock mount repairs. You may be able to glean some information from these:
DavidF and DADS50 ; DADS50 has a lot of good pics and some videos linked to his posts - very helpful.
Denny Graham has a lot of good pics too.

One of our vendors sells a conversion kit which may be helpful.

Good luck and have fun,

Bill
