Bought a pair of Bowens Monolite 400DS Strobes since the 1980s for my home studio usage. Must say they are truly good
and reliable work horses during the film era. It's working now also in this digital era and as the original Bowen Softbox was
getting old...the inner silver layer was getting black affecting light output hence it got me toying about the idea of modifying
a Godox softbox to fit my old Bowens as the Godox brand was touting that they are Bowen mount. After thoroughly going thru
the specs of the Godox S mount decided to go ahead as I can't give up my Bowens strobes hence embark on the modifications.
Like to share the process in pictures :)

Recently did another modification of a Photoflex Softbox with 'S' Bowen mount for the Bowens Espirit 1000s strobe
so as to be able to use on my other Bowens Monolite 400D. Hence purchase a Godox Striplight Softbox 60x90cm for
the Espirit 1000s :)
