If I did buy a swivel kit is it plug and play or are there bolts to cut and other mods to make?
Cheers, Giles
They are a straight replacement for the existing fittings. 3 screws on each side, no need to drill any new holes or do anything destructive, so you can put it back to standard any time you like.
Good thinking about trying it first, though, especially with a mohair hood, they aren't anywhere near as prone to shrinkage as the vinyl (aka Everflex or Ambla) versions.
