Mike

  

     I don't know what  else you would need to do to upgrae to Model III specs but thought I'd pass on  how I replaced my front spar.

     I used a reciprocating  saw to cut out sections between each rib leaving about 2 inches of spar on  either side of the rib.  I then heated the spar stubs with a propane  torch.  The 3m grey epoxy turned to something like putty and the stubs were  easily removed from the ribs.  I use a putty knife to remove most of the  epoxy from the ribs while it was still soft.  It turned out to be much  less of a job than I thought and no damage to the ribs.

  

 Good Luck
