I have ordered the L2216 "2-lever Quick Coupler" from my local Kubota dealer, and now trying to determine best way to convert my existing bucket.

#1:
I see all types of Quick Attach Plates (weld on) available in different designs, and thickness and since my bucket has a type of V shape reinforcement between my pin on brackets, wasn't sure what style/design is best.

#2:
Are the bucket stops effected with this type of conversion?

All thoughts, suggestions, recommendations are appreciated!!!

If you can cut off all the original mounts and put a plate on it, use a 1/4" or 5/16" plate.

Bucket stops will be in the QA mount.

Or buy one of these from HLA/horst manufacturing.
As above cut off your pin gussets and weld on one of the top row units in place.

cut the mounts and brace off of your bucket to make a flat surface and weld on a ssqa plate.
