Nope. Holes won't match up. The SS is an entirely different mechanism from from a P-83 and none of the holes match. A lot of guys have re-drilled those shells so they could add the simpler strainer. Your drum, your call.

Thanks for the info....

Do yourself a favor...dont drill the shell. Take a small square of wood, paint it silver to match the shell, and make an adaptor plate so that you can use the new strainer with the shell. This way, when you eventually find the right strainer, OR someone makes a replacent that uses the same holes, the drum will still be original. Also, if you ever sell it, you'll be very, very glad you didnt redrill it.

I agree with Retrosonic, except I would use a piece of 1/8"X1" aluminum bar stock available at Lowes or Home Depot for the adapter.

I saw a retro-fit some guy did using a piece of aluminum as you recommended. It not only worked well, it looked good too! Much better approach than re-drilling the shell. I wish I could remember where I saw that thread, it had some good illustrations of how he created the adapter. Might even be at another forum. (?)

dan r. jones: PM just sent regarding your super-sensitive. Thanks!

Here's the one I did for a 1930s 4X14 Pioneer. Of course, it's a little more difficult on a Supra or Acro, anything with a center rib.

good advice here.

i recently rehabbed my early 20's nob ludwig snare with an adapter. got tired of messing with th p338. i made a small aluminum adapter and mounted a

p86 millenium strainer. it works great and i think it goes nicely with the drum.

Mike,

Any chance of a more side angle view so we can see the configuration of your adapter? Drum looks great with the P86!
