Converting 102c3 brakes from DD3 to spring brakes

[luvrbus]

Spring brakes uses a 1/3 of the parts found in a DD-3 chambers

Availability and price plus the DD-3 are only found on a bus so the price greatly reflects that ,Eagle have had spring brakes since the 80's fwiw

I've heard about this conversion. What is the general costs and labor to do the conversion?

After some checking I don't think there is enough room to use the spring brakes.  The end of the brake chamber is only about 2 in. from the air bag.  So now where can I find rebuild kits for the DD3's.
