late bay stuff (small PCD) would be better - that way he can fit the rear discs more easily

He'll also need to mount trailing arms for an IRS setup. I used indians for mine and theyve worked great for ten years or so. I used bus axles and
bus cv's. Its my bus Pete is talking about.

18 - he must have a VERY good paying job to contemplate such a major conversion...

Kimm at Indian will give him a complete list of what second hand parts he needs from what model years. You can do it fairly cheaply but once you
start to buy new bearings brake parts etc it starts to add up. He will want discs all around and a standard irs box wont last too long in a kombi. He
will also find he needs adjusters on the front beam, going irs on the back lowers the bus a fair bit.

i just did the irs conversion in the back of my splitty by swapping out the rear subframe with one out of a 69 bay, which lets me run the 091 box and
all the stock components, without messing about with rear end geometry. Track is slightly wider , but now it matches the 69 beam . (untill i narrow it
4 inches).
