Will A Weaver E-8 B Unit Shell Fit On An MTH E-8 B Unit Frame?

Hi Tomas,

I would like to run it in between the lead A unit and slave A unit(ABA), which would require the tether.

Has anyone tried this yet?

You can always extend the tether.  to go through the doors of the non powered E-8B 

If your just swapping shells, I say go for it the MTH E-8's where originally Weavers, at most I bet the mounting holes don't line up. That might be an easy fix.  

I mounted a K-Line F-7 on a MTH Proto 2, F-3 frame and the only problem was the holes not lining up.  I taped every nook and cranny to insure that when I drilled new holes thru the MTH frame that the metal shavings would not get into any electronics. 

The only area that I forgot to protect was the speaker.  The Speaker magnet will catch any and all that you might think you can get using a vacuum cleaner while drilling thru the frame.  Lesson learned.  Remove the electronics board if you're going to drill new holes for the shell to attach to the frame. And, don't use compressed air to try and remove stray particles as they will also go straight to the magnet on the speaker.
