I've attached a photo of what I did. Hope this clear! 1) Remove the fill-tube collar from a Heritage; 2) Drill holes in the Tradition Em-Tor so that they match the location of the screw holes on the fill-tube collar. Then you should just be able to screw the collar into place. I also put a bead of silicone caulk around the edge to try and make it a little more air tight. This set up will allow you to use the early G Series fill tube and bag adapter. You can then use the HEPA bags on your Tradition! |

Here's a photo with a HEPA bag. I installed an F-Style bag adapter, but you can certainly use the older style too. Sorry for the size of the photos. I just got a new MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago, and I don't think iPhoto will let you re-size photographs. Guess I'm going to need to buy an upgrade to do that! |
