    g0704 Bellows (dust cover)

    I'm looking to put an accordian type way cover on my X3 conversion.

    Looks like the g0704 has a nice set up for the Bellows, and I just noticed that it can be purchased as a replacement part from Grizzly for $20.

    I've seen people making bellows out of dennim and rubberizing them.... but they don't look like they compress and spring back so well.

    So I'm wondering if I could mount this on my X3 as the Z ways look to be similar in height.

    Any thoughts?

    iirc the x3 column is about a half inch wider than the 0704 column, the bellows won't fit, it was asked once before somewhere on here.
