Im looking for a custom torsion. Stock width, for use with stock torsiin bars and stock type end plates. I need it with nothing but the irs arm mounts. No horns, no trans mount. Just center spline amd end plates. Who makes such an animal or who sells the parts to do it in my own shop. I have the capability and tools.

David Barrett also makes one (see last photo in ad) and might work with you to make it how you want

GET THE ADJUSTER ONE!! Very Happy I have a SAW King Kong adjuster in my old Chenowth's stock beetle torsion (early Chenowth play cars had VW torsions) and it is so cool not having to re-index torsion bars and stuff. If you're not going coil-over, its the coolest way to use torsion bars.
