I have a lot of old HO Athearn blue box kit rolling stock with the horn hook couplers. They need to be switched to the newer style couplers. Can anyone recommend the best couplers to use? Can you provide a link as to where to get them? Thank you.

I'm just worried about the little metal cover that snaps over the coupler housing to keep it on there. From what I remember, they were a ***** to deal with so I can imagine them being even MORE of a ***** to put on after taking them off to switch the couplers.
