Is this replaceable?

A lot of my old rolling stock has the talgo mount or truck mounted x2f or horn hook couplers. I use some sprue cutters to snip the coupler box off of the truck, then body mount #5 Kaddees to the car. Be careful to get the coupler in the center of the car. I use the draft gear box to locate the hole I drill and tap for a 2-56 screw to secure the coupler. If, as stated, that coupler cover on your body mounted ones will come off, you can replace the hornhook with a Kadee #5 and centering spring. I have used the pin that came out back in with a small dab of plastic cement, but I also would recommend drilling and tapping the hole for a screw.
