Has anyone installed larger bells on older B&H or Besson Eb tubas?

Yah.
Besson did and came up with the 980/1/2/3...

That wasn't my question.
I know about Besson's newer versions; I owned a few.

I know there are replacement "after market" bells for the Mirafone 186 so maybe there's something out there for the older Boosey & Hawkes Eb tubas.

I have two Imperial (same as Besson) silver Eb tubas available for transformation. The back bow has already been shorten and they play very well.
