Always keep a big hammer and a condom in your toolbox, if you can't fix it with the hammer

Looks good but is that studding you have used between the rod ends?
If it is, then it may bend.

It looks OK to me. You have the bend of the bar as close to the mount as possible, the drop link is a reasonable length and the pick up point on the
wishbone is close to the ball joint, all fundamentals correct.
I do find that some form of adjustability on a front bar is very good for tuning the balance of the car and in this respect actually prefer a slider
along the bar as this enables precise adjustment. You could shorten the bar slightly and use spacers between the SRE and bar to alter the lever
arm.
The one thing you need to watch is that as roll increases the linkage doesnt go over centre so the actual roll resistance starts to reduce. I have
never really looked at this on any of the bars I have fitted and not sure if it can happen! But read about it somewhere.

Hi,
Sorry to brake into this but i'm building the avon. I'm making my lower arms as by the book only 5 cm wider. My Q is the book says 10.9 on
the lower ball-joint.
As i'm watching the picture i notice there is a gap between the lower-ball-joint and the bracket for the coil-over.
So 10.9 in the balljoint and the weakest link weld into the 25mm tube is 30 mm away???

looks good to me. Have you got something on the bar to stop it sliding across in the bushes, other than the bends in the bar?
If not, you'll want something. A jubilee clip and some rubber tubing will do the trick.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
