Tremolo for a 360

I've got a standard late 70s 360 with the R-tailpiece and I thinking about a tremelo fitment. Is (or was) there a fitment which replaces the R but which is non invasive and does not need holes drilled - and keeps the strings in tune?

Thank you for link. Is it really as simple as taking the R off and putting the Accent on? And is it generally considered a decent tremelo or not?

It's held on by the strap button alone, and will cover up the screw holes from the 'R'. The Ac'cent can't perform like a Floyd Rose or even a Strat vibrato can, but it's a very simple system that holds tune well. A better choice than a Bigsby, IMO, and much easier to restring.
