The k 14 came with my aaz. Assumed it was stock. I think it's a k 14 anyways I haven't read the sticker in a while.

I ripped the can off the t3 and looks pretty easy to mod. Like you said there's a spring, a plate and a shaft with a nut on it. Hardest part will probably be modifying that bracket from the k 14 can to align everything.

Am I going to run into any problems opening that plate below the can on the t3? Assuming that will give me access to the valve and shouldn't effect balancing or anything eh?

nope ur safe with opening that, u wont throw off the balance of anything until u get to the rotating assembly.    u could even the lap that valve in while its apart.  there may be cracks where the valve seats, don't worry about them unless they go the whole way through something.
