Jeffrey, thank you so much for sharing your work. If you ever change your mind and decide to furnish parts, let us know.

I would like to have both DFX and DWG files. That way, I can make either format available to the members. You can send them to the email address in my signature.

Mark, both of those file formats are for CAD software. If Jeffrey sends me the files, I will print them in a PDF format that folks without CAD software can read.

I thought I would bring this to the top again. In the past few weeks I have heard to two model 10 Torsilastic failures on the drive axle.

While the market is small for this conversion kit, I hope that Jeffrey (or someone else) make this kit available to those that could use it.

If nothing else, the details in this thread will help folks fabricate their own.

Finally back on here. To all who inquired, I have located the drawing files for this project again. The files are LARGE. In a zip file they are 41mb.

Kurt was gracious enough to build a Dropbox location for the drawings of the conversion.

There has been a few recent discussions about air suspension (adding air bags), so I thought I would bring this to the top again.

I did not receive the cad drawings. If anyone else did, please let me know. I will try to contact Jeffery to see if he can send them to me.
