Short answer? Yes. It requires welding the appropriate lower wishbone brackets to the existing chassis and working out the shock absorber issue. The original swing-axle shock mounting will foul the roto-flex suspension (or wheel -- I forget which at the moment), but there are a variety of ways to deal with that problem: use the upper shock mount complete from the "Mk11/+" GT6; use the lever shock setup from the Vitesse 2L Mk2; or use adaptor kits sold by TSSC and others to move the upper mount point. You'll also need to relocate inward the reinforcement for the forward trailing arm mount on the body tub...and probably a few other little things I can't remember at the moment. --Andy Mace *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** *** unsubscribe/change address requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or try *** http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool *** http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo *** Archives at http://www.team.net/archive *** Edit your replies!
