My description of non-reversibility was not all that clear, I guess.
Let's try this:
If you take off the lower arms of the TR3 (or TR4), you find that
they were mounted to the chassis on a rod or spindle or stud or
whatever the proper term is. It is welded into the front spring
tower. That piece must be cut off in order to make the conversion,
and the hole in the new brackets on the ends of the lower a-arms must
end up in the same place as the spindle used to be. To reverse the
process, and replace this spindle, could be done, I suppose, but it
would be exceedingly difficult. To get them in the right place, right
length, etc will take more than a simple welding job.
