I am just trying to see how all this fits together. I have dual flahs bracket. Do I remove it and use the AB/WL adapter than Jerry sells to use with his dish?

Would love to see some actual shots of these two together. Jerry's web site is not that informative in this regard. I asked him and he says remove the bracket and use the adapter but there is no picture of the adapter.

It's pretty easy to remove the dual flash bracket and mount the AB adapter.

Remove the thumbscrews that hold the diffusor, and then remove the posts that hold the difussor. Just unscrew the screws off and unmount the adapter. just reverse the process to put it all back together.

Sure there is:

It's just a flat, 6-1/8" diameter disk with an AB type mounting flange in the center and four holes pre-drilled that conform to the mounting holes in a Kacey (and Speedotron) dish.

One more thing, do I need to get the white diffuser when using AB strobes even if I don't use modelling lights?

Make sure that you get the optional white diffuser. It works quite well in allowing you to use the modeling lights. if you spend that extra 23 dollars, you definitely won't run into the issue of accidentally melting the acrylic diffuser. As always, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
