Thinking about converting the haigh locking tailwheel to api on my s1s.

I have had api on most of my tailwheel airplanes and like them. Haigh has grown on me but thinking to make the change.

Here are some questions …

- rudder horn will need to be installed - does anybody have a source or premade one I can use ?

- I will need the tailwheel from api - I am thinking single fork 4 inch - should I go double fork?

- can I reuse rod that is haigh on right now or will I need to get a new rod/spring as well? New rod would likely need to be bent for the angle I presume. If new one is recommended then which source to buy from?
