C14 orange, modifying to Fastar

Hi,

I have an older one of the C14 serie
Is it possible (and what I have to do) to get it
fastar-compatible
I have some possibilities in mechanical work, so
that shouldn´t be the problem
But are there bigger stones in my way? I just didn´t disassamble the tube or the secondary mirror holder.
Is the secondary smaller or the hole in the schmidt plate bigger to take it away and change to the lense assembly?
Would be very kind to give me some info about the history of fastar-developing and the changes made in the C14 Optics
Thanks

Dieter
