Most of the hardware can be bought from rally design. Look up a guy on here and drop him a pm, muz is his name. I built mine years ago and got the measurements straight from MEF. Lost the drawing many years ago now. Transformed the handling but made the car hard and noisy |

I made some a while ago. made a simple jig using a bit of box section and threaded bar to replicate a rear with bone and used used nuts to work out spacer sizes pretty simple to do.

Found a chap on ebay to make me the spacers and had the bars cut to length and ends tapped for rose joints |

I do still have some drawings BUT when I was making them I kept tweaking the measurements until I got them perfect and now I cant remember for the life of me what ones of my drawings are correct and what ones aren't so I could end up giving you the wrong ones lol.

The car is in my mates body shop for paint but hes doing it on the side so he might have it a few weeks or a few months. Il post up the drawings I have but like I said take them with a pinch of salt as I cant say for sure if they are the correct ones.

Had a load of thick washers made to sit on the outside of the rose joints to allow them to move freely |

This drawing correspond to the 4 links bars & spacers below https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...69972dbfe9.jpg |

This drawing corresponds to the arms below. The 9mm spacers are used to slot inside the cone fitting to stop it crushing when boltimg a rose joint onti the side of it https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...3d7c5df95c.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...742ef19aef.jpg Thats all the pictures and measurements i have but like i said they might not be my final drawings (im pretty sure they are) and they might not be 100% correct for your car/ setup so id recommended you use them as a reference rather than copy them exactly. |

I also had new tie bars made for the front that go from the tca to the anti roll bar setup off an s1 rst. Might have drawings for them too somewhere 😂 |

You can buy all the relevant rose joints and threaded inserts from McGill motorsports. Left and right hand thread. Saves a fortune |

I’ve never had a problem with them. I do buy the expensive stuff though. There are a few levels of quality. Mind you I didn’t do many miles as the ride was so harsh. |

I used there ultra high performance ones (there top spec ons) and they lasted about 800 - 1000miles max on the road, I know they are not best suited for road use but expect them to last longer then that.

i think rubber boots and grease is required to give them some longevity
