Re: 8 series K vs CMY drums. What's the diff?

The endings are redesigned. You byu new fresh K OEM drum from KM and will see. Can't just swap end cap with spacer.

The "new style"... I'm guessing you are referring to DR314K / AACJ0RD in U.S. I've seen available but not had one in hand yet.
We were talking about DR313K / A7U4-ORD. We primarily sell r/f machines and the 8e series are starting to arrive.
Also guessing the DR314 will be backward compatible and one day we won't be able to get DR313's. If we save our DR313cmy cores for the end caps we should be ok unless they discontinue selling DR313k.

No-no. I mean DR-313K A7U4-ORD which was reshaped at some point from KM factory.

You can mod DR-313K to fit DR-313C.

Yes, we've covered that. Do you have anything specific to add? Such as the old vs new style mentioned by tsbservice and what if any different steps you take? Apparently what we have seen so far can be referred to as old style.
I think we've reached a point where pics would be most helpful bc we've seen pics of the "old style" caps that are def. swappable.
Anyone with pics of the new style supposedly not swappable?
Thanks!

If Konica Minolta did modify the image units we would then have to modify the MFD.

True, but to repeat for you once again KM inc. are aware of that fact and restyled K drum(NOT CMY).

I'm done with you on this topic. Trying to explain no more
