The Old Guy Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 The head will fit , but the water outlet will need either some modification ,or you will need to use the later unit. I am not sure what it entails, but that is the major difference. Look at the bolt configuration and the shape of the water orfice. They had 3-4 different shapes on the front of the heads.
