Shouldn't be a problem for the 14198, 14262 or 14256 extension tubes.  One 
thing that prevents some conversions is fixed Leicaflex cams that would have 
to be ground off to make the Leitax mount fit.  The 14198 and 14262 have 
Leicaflex cams but they are removable.  The 14256 does not have any 
Leicaflex cams.
