Alternative pots for MRS reactor stove?

I've got an MSR reactor stove with the 1.7 and 1L pots.

Does anyone know if the MSR Quick 2 system pots like these

will fit the reactor (which has a convex heating element that the supplied pots sort of lock onto).

Also I've heard of a converter ring to allow the reactor to be used with any pan. Any idea where these can be bought? If not I'll just make one.

No those pots don't fit on a reactor. Just the Reactor pot is fitting. Jet boil has a ring that works with any pot, but MSR has not such thing as far as I know.

Thanks.

In the end I made a ring out of a bit of steel roofing strapping from Wickes. The stuff that's about 25mm wide by about 1mm think with loads of holes in it - works fine with trangia pots.

Also, by coincidence I was climbing in Scotland this week and popped into Ellis Brighams in Fort William and they had the MSR Alpine 2 pots. They are much bigger than the photos on the Internet suggest so I think if I want to use pans to cook stuff in I'll make do with the home made ring and the small pans/lids from my old olympus stove.
