How smooth was the conversion for you?

Well i hope it's worth it. I've already run into my first issue with the setup i bought. It has 2 different backing plates on the front end. 1 is thick (prolly 3/16" thick) the other is a 2 piece plate that was thin, like 1/16" I'm not sure which one is the original. but they are going to work tommorow so i can throw them in the sandblaster.
