It's only a lump of metal, if made accurately and using decent strength metal will be fine, no reason they should fail.

Them blades are being sold by Steve Scott of A1 Rallysport they are fine and of good quality,

They have the groove all the way round so adjustment is infinite

I'm trying to sort out some suspension improvements on my car and to be honest group A style ARB is the only way to go...

So theese are good quality, I should purchase 4 of them then... One more info guys, the tube of the ARB should be aimed to be mega stiff so just the blades will flex or should it have some "give" (not mega-stiff just to allow some flex?)?
Thanks in advance!

these do not work with a standard anti roll bar, standard set up is not adjustable,

with the wrc/grp a roll bar the blades on the end can be rotated so the are horizontal through to verticle,

to get an idea try to bend a ruler when it is horizontal and it bends easily turn it verticle and it will not bend at all and thats what the blades on the roll bar do and everything in between those 2 positions is softer or harder,

there are different thickness bars for gravel and tarmac and need to be made of the right material so make sure you buy the proper ones which are around £300 for each bar!
