This picture convinced me that I had to do something to stiffen up the roll bar at the front and the only cost effective thing I could come up with was to double up the anti-roll bar.A mod that was very common in the 60's and 70's

I got another arb off another forum user and then set about mocking up a bracket in wood to use as a template.

I then mounted the 2nd arb with tie wraps at each end to hold it and checked the bracket, I have since made a mk2 version wich is now an inch shorter in height, I am hoping a local machine shop can make me these out of alloy relatively cheaply.

Whilst it was in the air it was obvious that the front suspension had suffered a bit since it was fitted 9 years ago so I have now stripped the arb's and original brackets off, these are going to the powdercoaters this week.

I also stripped out the lower arms so these can be repainted aswell as giving the 4 pot calipers another coat of paint as they too were starting to suffer.

I will post updates as I progress.

update time, I picked up the brackets from the machine shop this morning, they have done exactly what I wanted.





fitted up the brackets onto my freshly powder coates ARB's and all looks good, I am yet to try it on the road but it has to be an improvement.





I do have an extra bracket to go between the 2 front ones if needed, will leave it off for now tho..
