I need new grids and a new manifold for my current filter. The filter is currently a Pentair 48 FNS plus. Would it be possible to buy a new stand pipe ($50), new lid ($200) and 60 sqft grid pack to convert my 48FNS plus to 60FNS plus? Has anyone tried this? Seems like it may work and it's really only $250 more than I am already spending to get a larger filter.
Replace FNS 48 lid with FNS 60 lid?

It looks like the tank bottom is different and you need a different tie rod.

I was going to buy a whole grid/manifold kit with new tie rods since I need to replace both. The bottom tank being a different part number is the only problem.
I'm wondering if the bottom tank part number includes the stand pipe so thats why it is a different part number. The band clamp is the same for all of them so that seems to me it's the same diameter.
