Umax trigger mod?

Has anybody ever modified a umax to have a trigger activated pinpoint and all metal like the wh!te$ machines? Seems like a fairly simple modification to me. Heck, you should be able to buy the three position switch, drill a hole in the rod, and maybe some wire?
 
I replaced the pinpoint button on a Silver Sabre umax with a toggle switch and it worked fine - don't have to hold down the PP button to remain in all metal. Discovered that breaking the circuit was what put it into pp/all metal mode. Should be easy enough to tap into those wires and extend them out to the rod and into another switch.

My Silver Umax is so accurate using the old X method I haven't needed a pinpointer. I only miss a depth indicator as I am taking a bit longer to find some deeper targets now. And wouldn't the modification invalidate your lifetime warranty? Onus
