Anyone that has an IRS'd Splitty let us know here what kits you are using and your comments. Please.

For the best information visit.

www.ssvc.org.uk

A lot of members on here and there are thousands, have done every available IRS setup.(apart from those made here, but as you know it is really cheap now to get stuff imported)
Just do a search for IRS.

Cheers

G'day frenzix.

I did mine using bits from a '71, cut the brackets off and welded them on to the Splitty tube and made an adaptor bracket to fit the '68 - '71 front mount (used 1600 Bay box) and fitted late bump stops and shocker mounts for Bay shocks, so underneath now is pretty much all Bay.
Pic shows it all. I've done about 14000ks since and is good.

Cheers, Ian.

Next time I will cut the centre piece out and replace with same from Early Bay, this would be a lot easier than what I did the first time.
Cheers, Ian.

the handling and economy of this would be worth your comments please (with what engine) d bug?

The Splitty drives and handles like a Bay now. It has '69 BJ front beam '71 discs, so has great brakes as well. It runs a TP 1600 and is running 720mm tall tyres. When first built (May '04) it would do 26mpg at 100ks.
Cheers, Ian.
