I've done this mod to several clocks. I used the "long shaft kit" from  
Walmart (4.99), and have had good success with it. You do need to add a 3/8-16  
nut for a spacer to set the hands depth correctly. They keep very good  
time. The AA battery lasts about a year and half to 2 years. I even did the  
conversion to my T-34 clock. In fact it's working in the car right now, as it  
has the only battery in the car at the moment. ;^)
