The conversion itself is straight forward. You may find, though, that you need to perform a repair for broken screw posts. When I did mine, I had to replace the lower posts only. I used a pair of 2-56 threaded spacers that I had to reduce their outer diameter (chuck into a drill and grind) and then cut to length to fit through the 41CL board mounting holes. Then use fresh epoxy, align the replacements by screwing the halves of the calculator back together, along with a bit of weight to ensure the posts set up in the right place. Wait a whole day before touching it to ensure the epoxy has set fully.
