Micke, do you have any pictures of the completed sway bar attachment points on the LCA's?

Any pics of hollow bars? I think I'm at the point where I would rather increase roll stiffness with sway bars rather than upping spring rates.

Must be somewhere on this forum. BTW, after this posting a friend had problems clearing the chassis with the Berlina bar.

i have a tubular bar almost set up.

i ordered some splined arms to fit my 1 1/4" bar from speedway engineering. all i have to do now is cut the arms down as they are very long and drill some holes for the drop links.

ill take some pics of what i have and post them.

I' ve posted this one somewhere before. I can't find it ....
32 mm outside dia and 20 mm inside which is a touch stiffer as a solid 30 mm bar

What is the bar made of?

You said you cold bent the arms?

How did you bend the arms to that shape?

Is stainless steel similar in torsional strength to mild steel? Would you recommend I use mild steel to save money?

brute force

Local black smith did the forming and tig welding for me.

For the tubing I strongly advise to use seamless.
Mild steel is a fraction stronger, money was here the driver.
I happened to find a seamless ss pipe for a reasenable price and made a small series.
The price of was no where near a massive bar..
I can't make a living from it
