Yes, get a small bit as well.  I suspect you won't be able to use the power SD
in the back though...no room.

I got mine about a year or so ago.  Ken Swan and Ray Hoerning liked what they
saw, ordered one, and it was a different material.  In inquiring about it, I
believe Ron (and he'll have to clarify) told them that the person that made
mine no longer did the canvases for Ron.

Nonetheless, Ken and Ray kept theirs, installed them, and are happy with the
results.
