Absolutely. But, my e-impression was that the OP may not be in a
position to do the swap. In that case, his trusted mechanic can put
the Bostig in, and be even more adept at maintaining the vehicle in
question.   :)    Even so, if at all possible, I'd say to the OP, "go
for it!" if it's a Bostig.  **
