Anyway I've always fancied an old Explorer (No jokes about Christopher Columbus etc., please) but can never really justify the cost to myself.
Thus I am thinking of changing the Air King Dial and hands to the Explorer style.
I don't see any problem, as long as I don't try and pass it on as an Explorer.
What does everyone think of this idea?
Secondly, does anyone know of any reason why it might not fit?
As always all comments much appreciated.

I might do the same with my 5500 1972/73 Air-King. I also believe the Air-King I have have a redone dial + the hands.
Any thought on a remake like this?
