ACL S16 conversion.

Hi,

I've heard only the latest ACL mags (two parts pressure plate) should be used for super 16 . Any expert"s opinion about this?

I am not an expert. But I have used older mags on S16 ACL's and they work fine IF they are scratch tested and modified as needed beforehand. While I am sure the two part pressure plate design is better for S16 (S16 Aaton [and other cameras'] mags are two part pressure plate also), there is no reason why a properly mantained and tested older mag is simply not good enough for the job at hand.
