Default IRS conversion

Asking for just that could a IRS setup be bolted into a live-axle car, just wondering if anybody else has and has put some research into it?

Both the IRS cradle and the Watts linkage have identical mounting points.

If you're brave enough to do it hats off to you, in adding another 70 kg in weight to the car. Not a cheap exercise by any means.
