Hi. If anyone could give me the links specs to rear anti roll bar for 3door rs500/cosworth, I would be happy I want to fabricate a couple of those.

I need: Lenght, wide and hole mm. Pictures would be nice.

Regards

been messing around today so id thought id take some pics,hope they help.

 

Thank you very much for the pictures pal! I copied one of them and edited with mm.
Can you find out what these measures are in mm with a caliper? Is just to get it exactly

Could you also find out how wide it is where the bushes are and what bolt I need?

thanks again

 

speedangel:if you can give me a couple of days i will try and sort that for you.have you looked about to buy these instead of making them,i know you can get the sapphire ones but i think 3dr ones are smaller.

 

thanks I understand your thoughts, but as you said. 3dr type is shorter in length.

I have a buddy that is working as CNC operator and he said yes to make a couple =)

 

I'm pretty sure that if you measure the stubs the ends go on you will find they are 5/16, on my old mk1 sierra before I had a sapphy arb on the rear I made a link about 4" long each side with a rod end on each end, chopped the "bulge" part off the stub, drilled the centre of the stub and tapped to about 5mm, then used a washer/bolt to hold each end firm.
I then went sapphy type arb, in 16mm, the std 3 door arb on the rear is imo a waste of time and effort.

thanks =) But I will go for 3dr arb. I found a company in USA that are selling 16 mm xr4i arb =) That is why I want to make some new.

 

here you go,the only problem i see is the hole in the rubber will not be accurate,if you can wait till tommorrow i will measure my anti-roll bar for you.

 

Thanks mate! It`s good someone will help me. I can wait if you could check out the bolt type/size you are using, that would be nice too.

 

Well it's your car, good luck with it, in retrospect I wouldn't even have gone to the bother of taking a 3 door shape bar even if it were free, and certainly not fitting it, the merkur arb is not going to make a world of difference over the std 14mm one over such a long length.

hmmm.. okay, Why I am fitting the 3dr type is because i don`t want to weld so much in the chassi and it has original mounts ready to mount on. It is going to be a fun car, not for races

 

anti-roll bar size for you,are you going to be bolting theses on or are you using the original mounts?if so i may be interested in a pair also once there made.

 

I will try first to make some rubber or poly so the original mounts can be used. So if that works, you want a pair?=)

 

yes please,that would be great,did you have a look around for genuine parts do ford still sell them?

 

yes, I will se what I can do But it should not be a problem to make some for you too. I`ve heard around and in Norway it is a problem to buy genuine parts for older fords.

One more question, how wide are the links/bushes?

 

here you go mate.

 

Thanks pal I have also found polyurethane bar that I am going to machine the bushes to use in the links. I was thinking 90 in hardness.
