Swing axle to irs

[Bad bug]

This is not a suspension question, but i need to know if anyone has done a conversion from swing axle to irs chassis, has it worked out and what's the procedure to do this.

Here's a link to some pictures I shot while converting my dune buggy.

I fabricated these clip holding fixtures using an IRS pan as a template...



Hope it helps....

I have noticed when adding the conversion clips to the chasis they are angled inwards to the frame horns. Also was it necessary for you to grind away material from the clips before welding them to the frame.

Apparently, I was sold clips that were supposed to fit a smaller diameter torsion housing... Just make sure you get the right ones. Because the extra grinding is a pain in the a$$...

Does doing a conversion like this strengthen or weaken the chasis and where did you buy yours.
