Linda; Not too difficult, have a look at the 4000 series Camloc http://www.milspecproducts.com/4000C-lock.htm . Your mechanic will drill out the old receptacle and replace them, then change the "mickey mouse ears" to the Philips-type of the Camloc. He may do this as a logbook entry or submit a 337, according to how he determines the change. I mention this because usually whenever a 337 is submitted, your invoice will be higher.
Also, on the "project" Ercoupe for $5500, yes it's a good buy if there's an engine and prop, and the wings are good. Remember that the spars also corrode on the rag wings, too! I don't get Coupe Capers so I can't comment past that. Whenever considering a project, don't forget to factor in the delivery. That should be a great deciding factor of whether or not the deal is right.
