I am running a RN pole with the stock SN bracket. To get it to fit I had to cut a little off the end of the pole and cut the tab for the pole rest on the bracket. The RN pole is a bit narrower so I used stainless washers from Lowe's the to take up the extra space. I used the stock SN springs that I had to cut down a bit. I also moved the hood hooks to the out side of the bracket. Do some searching you will find lots of threads on the conversion.
