hiya all,

Been researching converting a bug swing pan to IRS. seems pretty straight forward but requires some jigs to be made using an IRS pan as a template.

Thing is I don't have an IRS pan to use as a template so apart from sending my pan to Custom VeeDub I wondered if anyone had some jigs that they had made to do the job? Or any other ideas I may not of thought of? a scrapped 1303 for me to play with?!? 🙂

Thanks

hey
yeah if you can find an irs pan or type3 irs rear you could make a jig
would be a good money make setup for someone
you have to make them spot on so the brackets are in the right place

fair point but there is nowt wrong with my pan and being a link pin front it may be more difficult to do as i thought the beam mounting holes where different to ball joint beams?

plus i like to work with what I have and not just whack something in thats ready done 🙂
