The "kit" was only a package of precut material and a small bottle of 
super glue.  It may or may not still be available.  It was not, 
however, designed to be placed over top of the old corfam.  I did 
hundreds of these birds while I was at Baldwin and later.  The corfam 
is usually very easy to pop out of the butt.  The catcher was a 
little trickier but not bad.

Putting the new material (I can't for the life of me remember it's 
name) over the corfam would really goof with regulation.  If Baldwin 
doesn't provide the kit anymore, I have a few stashed away that I 
could give you.    I would also be happy to provide more detailed 
instructions and a few tricks I picked up if you like.
