Riot, fret, maybe add new parts? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retrofit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'add new parts?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'riot fret maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'riot'+'fret'='riotfret'
'riotfret' with letters rearranged gives 'RETROFIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retrofit that I've seen before include "Later adjustment" , "Modification made after manufacture" , "Add (component) not originally in place" , "Make later modifications to (equipment, etc)" , "Fit with accessory not on original" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
