It can be done John, I have done it before, high arch alloy body with PT motor and then fit a Rover catcher to it, you just have to make a flap to suit the Rover and rivet it to the existing Victa flap, they work well. This gives you the side mounted bars,alloy body and a PT motor. Never need to buy another mower ever again, unless the base gets damaged. Mulch plug you would have to fabricate yourself. Won't help the economy much but won't hurt your pocket either
John, another alternative is just getting one of the alloy bases that have been around since the PT's first came out, they still have the single handle bolt but I have not seen any problem with those in that area and I have had a number of those here. If it bothered you, you could weld a bracket to the side of the handle and bolt it to the chassis, never be a problem ever again
