I just swapped my 6GB drive for an IBM DJSA-230 (12.5mm) on my i1460
(there you just had to turn the beast on its top, remove power and
battery, then unscrew the two screws on the CD panel, remove the CD
panel and you are looking at the back end of the HD, pull the little
flap and you've got it in your hands)

On the i1460 it did, the "cage" around the harddisk had little rubber
strips at the bottom, just take those out and the 12.5mm disk will
fit. Has been running quite nicely (and a lot quieter, too).

Have fun.
