I have just updated the bible in the toyota section with about 10 links with info, perhaps the mods can lock this thread and all can re-direct their searchings through the bible and reply in those threads.
Cheers,
Dan.

Marks adaptors do them for the bundy and others for about $600. Not sure if it will fit yours or not.
Worth a look hope it helps
