Hi Cary,
      First, I apologize for not getting the part numbers for my
conversion to you yet.  I had planned on digging through my
file of receipts this weekend, but ended up going water skiing
instead - sorry.

Yes, it has.

The Corvair axles have been used in the cars with the independent
rear suspension, especially the TR-4A's and TR-6's.  The Ford conversion
is for the solid axle cars like TR-3's and TR-4's.

Not recently since he has been attending the VTR convention in
Portland, OR as guest of honor, but I suspect that he might have
some useful insight.
