Do you think this LP12 DC motor upgrade kit will fit the Roksan Xerxes 20 plus?

Your Australian link doesn't like me ( Groove Audio ) thinks I am a bot even after ticking the captcha boxes but I got hifiaf.com which gave me a look at it .
I also accessed an Australian audio website where a guy is selling them ( Victoria ) having bought them ( where else ? ) in Hong Kong .
But reading up on Edmund Chan he sells kits for "upgrading " most Linn record decks-- no mention of any other makes -he sells bearings etc for them .
Reading the whole article even fitting the upgrades to a Linn is no "5 minute job " and drilling and sawing take place so telling you ---"it will fit a Roksan Xerxes 20plus " would be very speculative and his stuff is not cheap.
Your motor kit is priced at nearly $1000 with shipping so it would take a "brave man " to tell you to go ahead ---which wont be me .
Very modern looking deck your Xerxes and not cheap (£3000+) and its not a suspended deck which ( according to the manufacturers ) is specially designed to combat vibration /noise etc "after 20 years of research " so drilling and sawing -IMHO -- would not be a good idea --but maybe somebody here thinks its a "good idea " ?
On further checking your deck has a "specially designed motor that "turns on its axis " to compensate for torque fluctuations and its got "special rubber damping" --in other words the whole deck casing is tuned to eliminate specific frequencies -- just makes me more sure -- NO ! WFC --don't do it.
