Bowflex Power Pro XTL DIY 410LB upgrade
#1
Tongue 
So you have your old Power Pro XTL Bowflex and want to upgrade it to 410LBs but no one has the parts... Simply upgrade it yourself using the 410LB upgrade from a newer Bowflex system Xtremes, Sports, Ultimates, Blaze, the box itself is around $14USD. I was able to bolt this on to the main rod box with 4 (four) ¼” x 1” Hex Head Bolts. Two Bolts were mounted in the middle and the other two bolts were mounted on the sides. I used a ¼” wood drill bit to drill through the plastic. I was able to align the drill holes by first drilling into the main Rod box. Then I tapped the upgrade rod box to the main and used a little paint and a Q-tip to mark the holes. Then I drilled out the holes on the upgrade rod box. It took awhile to insert and screw the bolts on the side but once it was in; it was in. I used Gorilla glue after everything was as tight as I could get it to hold the bolts in place. See Pictures below.
If you have any questions for me about this DIY please post and I will get back to you.

Hey Jim, just wandering how this modification is holding up. I'm thinking about trying it myself.
