Anyone built the "Rorty" IRS?
THis link:
http://gtslocost.locostsites.co.uk/documents/pdf_files/RortyLocostIRSAssembly.pdf
Takes you to a pdf file describing this IRS design. Just wondering if anyone has built it (or close enough) or has any feedback on the design?
Site seems well worth a look.
Cheers folks!

Someone did say that the design is based around book width, rather than Sierra components, but I haven't measured things to verify this. It is
currently my plan to go this way, unless I buy in the rear suspension components complete.

Deman uses Ford 8.8 bits, I am not sure I like their execution but the idea is good and in a LC it would be unbreakable.

I'm not sure of your location or the availability of these parts there. I'm doing a +4 length +4 or 6 width and +2 or 3 height. My build
is a bit over the top with Ford 351W and 315 35 17 rear with a 7" backset and with these in mind the standard width Tbird Supercoupe or Lincoln
MK VIII IRS fits well I believe I can use Rorty plans widened down the middle. I will be using a few Cobra and Explorer parts to increase the size of
the stubs and half shaft diameter. I can provide a bit more info if anyone cares.
