Converted "M" code OTS to OTG
The gen 1 looks better, but performs horribly compared to newer versions. Had a donor gen1, but decided to purchase the newer style ($27+s/h) through Weber. Used a cut-off wheel (w/o guard=accuracy over safety) to remove an 1/8" from each tab on the ring, and to notch the leg sockets an extra 1/4"(?). Cleaned cuts w/ pencil-style die grinder to ensure the best fit w/o over-cutting.
Use whichever method you think is best & can actually do. IMO, this method seems to be the best way to ensure that it looks factory stock & will perform better over the long run. I'd be willing to help members with this "operation" if you're in the Milwaukee area.
