I have never done this but have thought about it from time to time. The clearancing has to do with making room for the larger outer radius of the inner CV joints.

I had planned to sit the bug on an IRS pan, but after doing some reading, it appears that it's fairly straight-forward to get the brackets and weld them onto the pan. I see that Jester's Parts in Ashland, NE rents the jig for $25 and he's only 70 miles away from me. Has anyone else here ever done the conversion and have any comments on it? The only other thing I've read is that the frame horns might need to beat down a little bit to allow clearance for the axles. Thanks for the commentary.
