Parallel bars made up with seamless tube. I plug welded and seamed them.

The welds were perfectly fine, but I decided to give them a tickle with the grit disc as it was set up

The rear tie bar rose joints won't fit in the cone links, so I made some 9mm spacers out of some 20x4mm CDS to fit in the gap. These will be welded in when I get some more gas.

Oversized front tie bars. Still need to finish these as the gas ran out.

With the rear ARB, I'm not sure which direction to take. Either,

Mount the drop links off to the sides on some sliding clamps,

Or shorten the turnbuckles and mount them on the tie arm rose joint itself right at the rear,

Also bought a new set of chassis rails while I had the spare cash. Won't fit these for a while though.
