The only way is to buy the cvd kit 9947 to fit the shafts and then the slipper, I have even asked on AE wheelers on Facebook if anyone has modified the slipper clutch assembly to fit the standard shafts in the .3 but nobody has done it as the threaded part for the slipper adjustment would need to be cut off making it useless

Why AE don't design a b44.3 clutch as a direct fit on the standard shafts is beyond me, even with the new shafts it's not a quick swap at trackside unless you strip the shafts out, so either way your stuck with one or the other with no option to change mid race meeting ??????

Think the idea was that they were getting beaten in the US by HB which runs a mid gear diff so decided to do the same as its what people were asking for.
if your wanting to run a slipper, why not just take the gear diffs and put them in a .2 and run with the schelle chassis so you can convert to shorty or saddle
