Only one I know who would do a retrofit is Ted Fry out of Rapture Archery.  I'm not familiar with that longbow's grip and not sure if it is even feasible.  
If I personally had a bow I really liked, I wouldn't cut it in half and epoxy it back togather.  I'd keep it as is and save up and have another one built like it with the TD system installed as the bow was built.  Chad

I am with Chad.  I have installed a bunch of the bolts in new bows put would not attempt cutting a finished bow in half.  Just ain't gonna do it.
