Talking

Thanks for adding that in Rich, I wasn't sure if just the bushing alone was rigid enough to hold the plate in correctly since it has a lot of twist on it.

Shadowbug, I made my own uni-ball setup. You could to if you wanted to get that deep into it... but this deal Rich is talking about sounds waaaay simple-er.

Hi

I saw a website and I didnt bookmark it was in the US and made of pressed steel and bolted to the torsion bar tube and had a bearing fitted, the same people also made tube trailing arms. I think it was eagle something???

I think this is the one you mean Steve:

Far cheaper than any other alternatives!

Hi

I wonder if they have thought of making narrowed rear IRS arms, it would save a lot of work.

The Eagle coil-over conversion is a great deal for the price. I have messed with them for a couple years. I am reverting my Signature Manx back to its bug roots (for my daughter with sudden interest) and using a set of Eagle coil-over plates to replace the MBT Uni-balls now going on my convert. Still using Red9 front conversion so hopefully in a couple weeks I can comment on ride. Eagle is easy to do business with, call them and a few DAYS later UPS brings you the parts. No wire transfers, trans-Atlantic shipping or sucky exchange rates...

Thanks,

Randy
