I've been trying to track down some Aqualung DIN conversion kits for a pair of 2006 Legend LX ACD regulators that I have that are currently yoke. I've been asking my AL reps & LDS(s) to try and order one for me on and off for a few years and the answer from AL has always been a resounding "that part has been discontinued and we don't have any stock of these any more". It looks like trying to get a pair from AL officially is not going to work.

Does anyone here have any tips or secret resources for where I could make one last valiant attempt to find a pair of these?

My understanding from a bunch of past SB threads and service manuals (such as this one) is that the part number I need is #129227 (described as "Converts original non-ACD Legend in Yoke or DIN to ACD DIN") - at least, that's what my local AL tech ~5 years ago told me when I started this search! As far as I understand, the Legend first stage design was changed circa 2011/2013 so apparently the newer DIN conversion kits (that are available) will not work with my 2006 LX ACDs. If I'm wrong on this, and I can modify a newer ACD DIN conversion kit to work with my regs, I'd love to know!
 
Thanks @buddhasummer !

I believe the part number is #129227, described as "DIN ACD Conversion Kit, Legend <2011 | Converts original non-ACD Legend in Yoke or DIN to ACD DIN".

My Legend's are currently ACD already but the original service tech I spoke to ~5 years said that this was the right part #. If any Aqualung experts know better, then I would love to know!

(Sorry! I don't have enough messages, yet, to initiate a DM!)

I have an early legend LX, the part #129227 fits only the newer legend that has the Ring in the body/hsg,
if your hsg is machined flat it will not accept the new DIN kit as it is set up for the updated Hsg w/ the Ring machined into the main Hsg if that makes sense. I have tried several times to call Aqualung leaving message's but no one will contact me back.
