And the parts are available through the usual sources. It is certainly
doable by someone handy with a welder and grinder and will give you the
adjustability lacking in the TR2-4. But, as Randall pointed out, with it comes
a bit
more caster which may be desired or not depending on your goals.
Reversing could also be done but unless you are going concours why bother?
