I already have the rails necessary to mount a 3.5inch device ina  5.25
bay. ie. two brackets.

I'd like to know how one deals with the fact that the 3.5 inch drive
will have a 3.5 inch face plate. Will the normal 3.5->5.25 floppy face
plate suffice?

ie. The mounting kit that HP provides for their drive consists of the
two brakets and a face plate? Is there anything special about this
face plate? My machine is a beige colored PC Power & Cooling
case. Proper beige ie. the color of a Nanao T2-17.

HP provides three different kits (3 colors) which include
the mounting rails and replacement 5-1/4" half-height bezels.
The original bezel and door unsnap and are replaced by the new
bezel and door.  The process can be reversed at a later date,
if you wish to go back to 3-1/2" form factor (save the bezel/door).

These kits are about $30 from distributors of HP products:

HP 35470-90-500 mounting kit for 5-1/4" form factor (beige)

HP 35470-90-300 mounting kit for 5-1/4" form factor (black)

HP 35470-90-100 mounting kit for 5-1/4" form factor (grey)
