    Is this possible: Vert/Warp ULE body

    Hey all. I was browsing through AO today and saw a ULE body for sale. Looking at it, something struck me. Now, understand that I've never had the opportunity to physically hold a ULE body, so all of this comes from what I can see in pictures. In other words, I'm probably WAY off base. Would it be possible to make a standard vert feed ULE body able to convert into a warp left body and still be used as a vert? If you simply rotate the vert body and drill/tap a hole for the frame screw could you use it as a warp left? Are the bodies similar to the classic bodies and have a little bit extra meat where the screw is accepted? I suppose you could add a bit of JB weld or something and then drill this? I know it would look a bit screwy with the body rotated, but if it works. I would have to think I'm not the first one to think of this, thus my assumption that it really isn't that doable, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see what you all think. Thanks.

    I suppose it would be possible if you could mimic the sear slot and holes 90* from their current positioning, but why? Couldn't you just get a ULE Warp body and save yourself the hassle?

      I was thinking that you wouldn't have to spend an extra $100 to get a warp body. You could use the same body throughout the day and run vert or warp. I forgot about the sear openings you would need. You're right though, probably more of a hastle than what it's worth.
