AntiRoll bar - Donor ?
sooty - 21/3/08 at 05:59 PM

I'm doing a setup for a mate of mine with his rear suspension on a Grasstrack car.

Any clues to which donor car would have a AntiRoll bar approx. 18/20mm thk, 1200 mm overall width in a |__| or __/ shape. Not too worried about the length of 'U' arms as they could be shortened as reqd.

Thanks, will post my mods. when completed

while to the astonishment of others , anti roll bars will function even if they arent made of spring steel .

5x50 mm flat bar and some 12g 20mm tube would be fine in your application , you can drill the flat bar for any length .

the volvo 200/700/900 share the same rear axle in different lengths - the anti roll bar at the rear is 19mm diameter , i might even have one somewhere .

ill try to get a piccy .

this is a front one
