modifying ARK-3-AFC to fit 32796 hook?

this is the weedless arky mold with the ring and flair collar using 60 deg flat eyed hooks. its made to fit a light wire hook (Mustad 32798 ) and id like to be able to use the mustad 32796 BLN heavy hook for flipping. has anyone ever done this mod?

if youve done it before or have done a similar mod, id be happy to pay you for your time if you could mod one for me. let me know.

thanks

Re: modifying ARK-3-AFC to fit 32796 hook?

Easiest way to modify the mold would be to use a dremmel to widden the hook cavaties. I have modified molds to pour flat eye hooks into molds that did not accept them before it is really easy.

For the hookeye get 3/16" Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones

And for the hook shank use Heavy Duty Cut-Off Wheel 15/16" Diameter

If you decide to use the smaller hooks again you will probably have a little bit of over pour to trim off, but it's not hard to do.
