sorry late to answer, gizmond you have to use the older PT with a dust cover that goes on with 2 bolts. then you need a special axle and a surly fixxer to replace the freehub body, and some fool (e.g. me) has to re- space the hub to 120mm by means of filing down the ally spacer {which has a magnet glued INTO it} on the non- drive side.
Simples!
They do not last forever, and saris will not fix the old hubs anymore, the occasional reverse torque seems to kill them- the torx screws holding the torque tube in the hub (under the batteries) back out under reverse torque. They usually survive a few re-assemblies and I've tried using loctite...
Still, the old hub are cheapish on eBay as most people now know that they are not supported- what we need is some whizz kid to work out how to fix them.....
Cheers,
Scherrit.
