He has about an 8 week lead time. $0.02.

So, will the GREAT engineers at Bosch be able to come up with a retrofit for the 4000? It would be a godsend for many of us! Thanks for the opportunity to comment. H. Akin

You may be right about retrofitting older saws, however the airbag comparison is very bad. Airbags can be easily fitted to older cars. Most modern systems only have the two airbags, a small control module, and a wire harness. The biggest challenge would be fitting the newer steering wheel with airbag onto the older car, but if they use the same attachment method (likely if they’re the same mfgr) it should work. There’d be a little fabrication work to make it look pretty, but functionally it could be done quite easily.

A better comparison might be "…like trying to convert a front-wheel drive car to rear-wheel drive". Now that’s a major feat.

There are some major engineering hurdles to get over to make this system work. It would be a lot like trying to install airbags in an older car.

Can this be retrfitted to it?
