I ordered the ProX 03.1315
From what I read here it is so far the best one. Comes with two different size shims. Pin is shorter than the stock oddy (I believe 5mm), no you cant use the old oddy pin even if it looks ok. Also the big end will smack the bottom end so you have to remove some from the end of the rod with a belt sander. There are a few threads here if you want to read up -- lots of info out there.
Have not installed it yet (winter project). You will need a minimum 30 ton press but 50 ton better from what I have read. You need some skill to do this job. FL350 right ??
