Default Retract Servo Conversion

I'd like to take a high power (~120 Oz/in) Futaba Servo (9405, 9202, etc) and convert it to a 180 degree retract servo. Does andyone know how to do this? Also, can it be done with a digital servo?

Why go to the trouble of conversion? Most commercially available retract servos are 90-150 oz-in of torque to begin with...exactly what you're looking for.

Thats what I was thinking. The big benefits of a digital servo are precise centering and speed, neither of which would benefit a retract installation.
