Thanks to our client and friend Massimiliano, we all can share this conversion instructions.
The bayonet side.....
as you can see, it is a 3-cams lens.
First, unscrew the black shroud and remove it (it's made of plastic so
there isn't any risk of scratching something). Then remove the bayonet.
Next remove the cams
The cams and the shroud removed.
In fact, there is no need to remove the black R-cam and its spacers.
Remove the screw , the spring and the aperture lever.
The aperture lever support will touch the bayonet
The solution is to shave the bayonet part that touches the aperture
lever with a small and round file.
When the aperture lever moves free from obstacles we can install the
bayonet.
The red dot goes near the scale center.
The conversion work is finally done

I wish to thank again Massimiliano for the picture series of this conversion work.
