David, As you mentioned, there are two types of 2/4 minute Columbia adapter kits. If you will post pictures of your Columbia 2/4 minute attachment, I can probably tell you if it will work on a BE. It has to be the kit with a round gear cluster on the end that has a small selector lever, if it is the other type, it won't work. Curt
