    Looking at my KF-III mixer, I do not believe these parts are directly interchangeable. The Avid mixer differential mod consisted of:

    - replacing (2) existing p/n F7 bellcranks with (2) new p/n F7a bellcranks (the new bellcranks have noticeably more curve, as seen in the attached comparison).

    - replacing (2) p/n F37 straight ~2-1/2" long threaded-end rods with (2) new p/n F37a bent ~5" long threaded-end tube rods.

    I've also attached a pic of the (unpainted) F7a and F37a modification parts installed in my old Mk-IV mixer.
