Has anybody fitted the 4x4 rear beam and arms onto a 3 door - and if so what did you do about the roll bar mounting to the chassis points
I have just about completed stripping off my rear beam and wishbones from my 3 door but its just hit me that all the freshly powder coated 4x4 stuff I have sat waiting to go on might not be a straight forward as I had hoped. The 4x4 rear wishbones are different as the roll bar attaches to them on the inner side as opposed to the outer on the original 3 door items - Thus the 4x4 rear anti roll bar is much narrower than the old 3 door one so the roll bar to body mounts are way off ,Any body got any ideas ?? all I can think of at the moment is maybe using a captive rivnut to create new points for the 4x4 rear roll bar to mount to the chassis or getting my original 3 door rear arms powder coated and re using them

i fitted rear cross member from sapphire to my 3dr so anti roll bar could be used from escos

at what location does you roll bar attach to the shell

saffs seem to be either side of the diff in the middle and 3 doors are at the rear chassis rail on the outer edge of the car

I decided to get the ARB brackets cut off my old rusty 3 door rear wishbones and have them welded into the correct side and place on my freshly refurbished 4x4 rear arms So I was still be able to use my original 3 door roll bar , that way there was no extra messing about with the shell
