Can you convert old pickups to Gibson Quick Connect?

Subject line pretty much says it all. Question: can you get the hardware needed to convert a regular set of humbuckers for the Gibson Quick-Connect system? If so I'd not mind doing that to some old school pickups I have. It would make seeing if you like a set of pickups better than the "61 Zebra's that are in my '15 SG all that much easier.

I have had been bouncing an idea about my head for a while about making my own sort of "quick connect" pickups, but not using the Gibson style plug. Instead using crimp connections or something similar that you can get from a hardware store, and wiring the pickup lead to those, with some opposite ends on the pot side.

 

I don't know if it would work, but I can't see why in theory it wouldn't; but I don't know much about electrics, and I fear it could damage the signal quality. It's not something I'm interested in doing myself, but I'd be interested to know if it was plausible.
