I believe I've read somewhere (SAOC's Horn or Alpine Guide??) that the J-type
unit, which replaced the D-type in the Arrow range not long after the Rapier
H120 was introduced, can be fit to the earlier boxes, but it is physically
much larger than the D-type. There was a suggestion that the J-type "may"
fit in a Series Alpine body. Perhaps with a bit of Tiger-style bashing to
the transmission tunnel?
