    I haven't tried it and I don't yet make a riving knife to fit that model.It does look similar to some other models that I do make a RK for.

    I looked close at the 91 and it appears that you would need to change the locker bracket as well.
    If it would be a direct bolt on or a simple fix, they would not have cast a new part.
    The BT's have two bolts that go through the locker bracket for the RK. They aren't fixed and have some play for adjustment.
    I have tried on a couple of occasions to develop a quick release for the BT's. There is simply no real estate there. I highly doubt you could easily swap in that new style clamp on the old style bracket.
    To replace everything needed and have a new style guard would cost just over $145.00 plus shipping, so not a cheap solution.

    One thing you may have overlooked about my riving knives are that they never need to be removed. That is unless you want to run a dado blade, so a quick release would really not save much time.
