So where can you buy just the top of the ball head in order to convert to arca swiss?

The Wimberley clamps (I bought mine from B&H Photo):

The RRS clamps:

And this is what I bought:

But you can use just about any Arca-Swiss compatible clamp from many difference sources.

Do these only work with one style ball head plate? I do not want to buy another ball head. The one I have is in my sig

Not without modifying it.

I have the Manfrotto 486RC2 and 488RC2 and I removed the RC2 clamps from these ballheads and replaced them with Arca-Swiss compatible clamps (Wimberley screw clamp and RRS lever clamp). You would have to do the same if you want to use an RRS or a Kirk L-plate on your camera.

That's what I did as well.

I got the RRS LR-II for mine, but for much less you can get one of these.
