I doubt there'll be many examples of an anti roll bar fitted to a midget with mx5 uprights, so you're prob best off just researching ARB's in general and find a starting point - obv Adjustable may be the best starting point!

I've made it a seven type front end. jon

Might not be any use what so ever, but this is a caterham rear one. Might give you some ideas... Rescued attachment caterham anti roll bar.jpg

If I've interpreted things correctly you are using MX5 uprights on a Midget.

Can't you use the same set up as the standard MX ARB ? I assume thy have them
as standard equipment ?

SWMBO has one but I've never had to do anything to it so have never looked to see
if there is one !!!
I'll have a look tomorrow and take a couple of snaps if it helps.

The mx5 as many others come off the lower arm, is the 7 type arms suitable for this. There is also a greater distance from chassis rail to hub than a standerd car causing the bar to bend on the end rather than twist. looked at fixing to top off chassis where a lot wider? Jon
