Hi,

We are after some bits to replace the IRS torsion tubes on the rear of our fugitive, with swing arm bits

We need;
Torsion bars
Swing arm spring plates
End caps (not essential, but somehow cleaning up and reusing is more satisfying than buying new)

Thanks

So you are going IRS to Swing Arm - that's unusual.
I am swing arm and have the back end off a 944 turbo to fit ( a pair of mahoosive alloy arms!) and a bus gearbox which will be mated to the MX5 engine - but unfortunately all probably not until the winter.  If you are still in need by then I'll wing the bits your way.

No, just the arms....

On irs, the torsion bars stick out in front of the rear wheels



You can fit swing arm torsion bars, and modify the spring plates to fit and they sit nearly flush like a swing arm model.

You'll need to weld in the front mounts, then swap suspension and gearbox.... this is just an aesthetic thing as we've already got irs

Not going to go back to swing axle, just want to get rid of the end of the torsion bars that extend out in front of the wheels.

How much do you want? And where are you? Wondering if collection is possible, I'm in North Bucks

I have some spares of both.

Spring plates and torsion bars that is.

My first buggy had modified plates and shorter arms on the IRS to fit bigger tyres, but now running Porsches 944 arms.

I can try and get a price to ship but will be heavy.

I'm in Worcestershire not far from Junction 7 M5 if that helps.
