Title: HPFP stud conversion kit
Post by: fab5freddy on December 28, 2015, 01:44:04 pm: Anybody done this, or know if this is sold this side of the pond?

I'm about to change my follower for about the 6th time i'd say. Any opinions on the worth of a kit like this? I'm generally very careful removing and putting back on, but can't help but think this is a good and worth while mod if like me you change often....

I would rather use these bolts than the stud technique although I've never had any issues with the OEM items fitted (it's more about being careful and using touch).
