I have just made this modification to my system and have taken some photos to hopefully help out. The modifications are very simple but you will need a multimeter or similar to make sure you get the right voltage out of the DC-DC Voltage Converter.

               

I have left my unit modular (with a plug on the end) so that I can easily disconnect the TX board from all the sensors to program when required. But this is personal choice, you could simply solder the voltage converter directly to the TX board.

I also wrapped the whole voltage converter module in insulation tape before installing it as I wanted to make sure that nothing would move and cause a short anywhere on the board as that would end badly.
