I've sent an e-mail to Les Bosher to find out about his services and will 
report back. It sounds to me like the 500 (British Pound) conversion is along 
the lines of the 
cheaper "Poor Man's" kit offered at www.members.aol.com/Super16ACL.  That kit 
is Flange and Shutter only; no mirror re-center; existing R-16 plate to be 
re-machined. Since no new parts are used in his conversion, then he probably 
modifies the existing R-16 Flange and Shutter too, which would be functional 
--- I originally did that with my camera --- no new parts at all, just 
modified R-16 parts ---  and eventually created the HD-144 kit because it 
made me paranoid to be using juryrigged parts --- even though it worked. I 
wanted a camera that was "factory" new-like).  Perhaps Les can give a good 
rate to those looking to install a kit (either "Poor Mans" or the full HD-144 
kit) who don't have an ACL tech that they love in the USA. Since the camera 
was manufactured for a while in England, I'll bet the British old-timers are 
quite good.
