I don't recommend it.  The Epson glass carrier involves mounting on the 
top of the glass. Hence, the sensor has to go through another two glass 
surfaces.  Get the cheaper Epson (or Canon 9950f, which is the one I 
have.)  Get a piece of  optical glass, mylar scaning overlays, Kami 
fluid and tape. I also use a rubber brayer to push down the 
mylar/film/Kami sandwich. The idea is to mount the negative on the 
bottom of the glass using Mylar and Kami.  Then use four feet (I use 
pieces of tape) on each corner of the glass to raise the negative to the 
ideal height for your scanner. Make a mask to set on top of the glass 
out of opaque material to keep out stray light, and make sure not to 
block the calibration area of the scanner. Then practice mounting with 
spare negatives.  I could go into more detail if you go this route.
