I think / thought a lot of people used Group A blade style front mounted ARBs.

Martin of the Hadland has a nice looking set up under his car.

Think Rally Design may also do similar for this application.

Tim Finch would know as well I'd have guessed, he knows his way round rally cars after all.

Looking at the pic, maybe not.

Hmm, a pic of the underside of Martin's car is what's needed!

Blue bit in this pic is part of the front ARB setup.

Looking for a better pic now.

There you go James, best get the card out and have a chat with Martin and see if he can source the bits he has on his car for you!

Remember looking at this set up when he was building his car and took some of my own pics, but can't find em at the mo. This was for my own car as I was going to use Compression Struts as well, and Martin's ARB solution looked a good one.

I have the Rallydesign kit on my Sierra. I chucked all the bolts and made my own drop links.

I have a 909 front bar that I'd like to use om my saff but an unsure of the best way to mount the bushes to the frame rails. I have a spare rallydesign frame rail kit I might mod.

Anyone got better shots of how they've mounted the 909 bar to their body?

The Ford Motorsport parts are getting hard to find now but when you can buy all the bits together its the thick end of £500 , unless you can find someone mugging odd bits away on e-bay that is .
I had Lee @Fusion copy original Ford Motorsport Chassis mounting brackets which are a thing of beauty compared to the shit that Rally Design use , this was some years back tho .
