Convert Classic III nozzle to Tradition?

[kirbylover]

I got a Classic III nozzle yesterday in my thrift finds. It is missing the bumper guard but has the red belt lifter with brush intact.

I need a nozzle for my Tradition. Does anyone know 100% if I were to buy a new Tradition belt lifter and bumper guard would they fit perfectly?

I think it would work fine, and as I said in the other thread, you'll also have the advantage of the suction relief valve on the top of the nozzle...

I'm not 100% sure, but the belt lifter finger & spacers from your CIII lifter should work with a new Trad belt lifter body, so all you need to get is the body (see link) and just transfer the parts where necessary...

Also, the bumper you need is here:

Don't forget to read the instructions there thoroughly, the bumpers are not fun to remove and re-attach, especially if you end up tearing the plastic... :S

I was looking at those exact items, just not sure if I should pull the trigger yet.

I'm sure that they'll still be there when you do decide to convert the nozzle...

You could use it as it is actually, you just have to leave the headlight lifted up to avoid hitting the fingers on the CIII belt lifter...
