Re: [T3] IRS conversion

["Bob Myers" <bmyers@kc.rr.com>]

<x-flowed>Hi all,
I did my 63 notch the way Neil is talking about. I used a swing axle torsion 
assembly (frame horns) and welded on the IRS control arm brackets like IRS 
torsion assemblies have. Then I switched over the torsion plates from swing 
axle to the shorter IRS that attach to the control arms.

I did not weld in any rear crossmember mounts. I figured that since the 
notch never had them before, the original mounting would be sufficient. 
After all they were added when the cars went to IRS and lost the frame 
horns, right?

I'll post some pictures later.
