Re: interchangeable parts???

Nope. Look at the top of a 'burb gate and then yours on the K5. The 'burb gate isn't flat all the way across. It has curved sections at the ends to match up with the roof.

I've compared the guts and they seem to be similar, but the shell itself isn't interchangeable. You'll need to find a K5 gate.

Looks like as far as LMC part #'s go, the regulators aren't the same either.
