Need help adding 17 M to Yaesu FT-101E

[KK7XE]

Hello.  My question is this.  In my 101E I have a spot for an AUX  XTAL.  Can I add one for 17 meters? If so, is there any thing special I need to know or align, and, where can I purchase one? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you & God Bless.  KK7XE

Inrad makes a kit for the FT-101 series, including the FT-101E, for adding 12m, 17m, and 30m.  The cost is all of $45 including the new rocks.  I did one years ago and found the installation mechanically challenging (wiring to the various wafers of the bandswitch in particular) but it went well and worked well.
