Front and rear anti roll bars have been ordered - approx 3 week turnround.
As discussed in a separate thread, I have been looking to modify the upper front wishbones. Although they are adjustable, this can only be done by removing them from the car which will be a pain. I have therefore been looking at ways of modifying them so they can be adjusted insitu.
Having looked into one way that was going to cost around £400 I have decided to use a female rod end and a left/right hand threaded bar. However, finding a bar has proved difficult so they haver got to be made. Although T9 has very kindly offered to talk to a friend's friend I have decided to make them myself. To that end I have ordered a left hand thread 1/2" UNF die (I have a right hand die) and a length of 1/" round bar in EN8.
The top wishbone shows the existing setup. The bottom one shows a female rod end (just ordered them so this one is from my steering rack that has the fixing bolt built in - no good for the wishbone) The double threaded bar will join the two, allowing adjustment on the car. The rod ends will have to be shortened to allow locking nuts to be added plus some room for adjustment.
