Hi Wayne,
I'm keen to try this on my 6BTV too !
Have you thought about mounting an extra 80m coil (RM80S) up the top of the 6BTV? One is kept for use on 80m (with the stainless whip still attached) and the other is used for 160m that has the extended wire inserted into. They say that doing it this way you keep 80m, but of course you'd have to buy an additional RM80S and make up a bracket etc.
The added weight would mean you'd have to guy the 6BTV, if you haven't already.
