Installing bailer in Sunfish clone (Dolphin)

I have a Dolphin SR that I would like to install a bailer. Has anyone done this on a Dolphin or a sunfish clone and do you have any suggestions? Also would you use the older bailer or the newer one or does it matter?
Thanks
 
I installed a self-bailer on a Seahorse (another Sunfish clone). I think the only difference in the old and new ones is the cap thread length (see for example Sunfish, Sunfish Bailer (1-5/16 Inches), 91025 and Sunfish, Sunfish Bailer (13/16 Inch), 91026). You need to measure the distance from the lower surface of the hull to the upper surface of the cockpit floor where the bailer will go, which is easy to do after cutting the hole. However, if you get the old style and it's too long it'd be easy to cut the cap length down to the right size.
