Converting from hanging folders to manila folders

I have a file cabinet, front opening, that doesn’t have the slider in the back to allow me to use regular manila folders instead of hanging folders. I tossed the hanging folders out and started to reorganize, and I liked it MUCH BETTER without the hanging folders.

Problem is, I can’t keep the folders up. So, I went out and bought some Smead FasTab hanging folders. They have a tab built in. I like the FasTab way better than the Pendaflex cr*p. But I still prefer just plain manila folders.

Does anyone know of a conversion kit that can turn a hanging folder drawer into a manila folder drawer? I know they make plenty of kits to go the other way around…
