Cheers Eric - I may take you up on that if the next part of my cunning plan fails!!!!

I'm going to contact a few repair guys in town tomorrow to see if any are game. I suppose it equates to a repair in terms of labour, but they may balk at the prospect of a modification! Who knows!? I reckon if you've opened it up to repair the thing then modding it is pretty much the same thing
If they say OK - I'll go ahead and order a BCF filter for the 40D and do it that way.
It may turn out to be the cheapest/safest mod option around for many of us.
I'll keep you posted

ps... if any South Aussies know a good DSLR tech please let me know.
I've got a shortlist of 4 places from the Yellow Pages...

Twin City (Grenfell St)
Digicam (Halifax St)
Eden Photographics (Aberfoyle Pk)
L&P (Kent Town)
