Just recently this was covered on the Shop Talk Forums under the T3 part of it. More specifically, the short T1 swing axle way of doing it. There has also been discussions about converting a swing suspension sub-assembly to IRS and the fabricating of rear hanger mounts have also been mentioned somewhere on that forum. We tend to discuss the darkside of the T3 over there and let this list cover all the stock stuff which keeps Greg and Jim much happier (LOL) and doesn't plug up the band width. I have also narrowed my Notch's IRS rear track and installed a 7" wide wheel. Brian S. did it a different way ands to the same end with a different offset rim. Come join us over there for the darker side of things (and T3s)! Its located at: http://www.shoptalkforums.com/ And we will never try to replace this, the most knowledgeable cyberspace for T3s. It's just not possible!
