[DeTomaso] Si hub carrier - retrofit?

[Charles McCall]

Simon has a white (86?) GT5-S Pavesi, and a gold SI Pavesi, right? The Gold
Si is a conversion and isn't one of the 4 Pavesi Sis? Or has the white car
been converted "under the skin"?

I think that answer is yes, as long as you have an earlier wide body car.
Simon Vels has a GT5S Pavesi Targa converted to Si specs, he said the a-arms
fit, but shocks and sway bar need to be the earlier GT5S (same as std
Panetra) varaints, not Si.
 
The a-arms wouldn't be hard to fabricate (and potentially cheaper) if you
could get ahold of the hubs. the question is were they unique to the Si or
borrowed from some other vehicle?
