I'm looking for a little help. I'm searching around about retrofitting NB2 door cards into an NB1. I've read about the kludges of flattening/shortening the NB1 door actuator rods and cup fitment. That's not good enough.

I am wondering if I can retrofit the NB2 door actuators (the release handles with the cables, versus the NB1s rods)? It seems this would eliminate the poor cup fitment and rod modification. I realize a litle modification would be needed to mount the actuator (release handle/pull) to the door's inner skin, but I'm looking for the cleaner, best operation here.

Does anyone have info, links, pictures to how to do this the "right way"?
