ive tried searching but we all know how bad that search button is on here.

im looking for pics of minis with front and rear anti roll bars so i can see what they look like fitted.

and a shot of how the front bar connects would be cool too if anyones got one,

cheers in advance,
si

Here's mine.

[tadleysimon]

the rear one is a little different isnt it! i thought they all mounted right toward the back of the subframe?

so the front one has 2 mounts on each side, its not connected to the subframe at all?

and is one of the mounts solid and one bushed?

[Clappy]

Check out this months miniworld (if you havent already got it) it's got a whole "how too" article on Sheldon, fitting an anti roll bar....you might find this useful....

[Pooky]

I received my Miniworld through the post yesterday and there's an article about fitting a rear arb. Might be useful to you

[tadleysimon]

that artical is exactly what has made me ash this question lol.

what im really interested in is how 'on show' they are with the car down on the ground. it seems you cant see the rear one at all but on the jap minis you can see the front one quite alot,
which i like

im also interested in exactly how the front one mounts,

also, while im here, anyone got any first hand experience with how they improve the handling?

oooooo your car is sweeeeeet.

quick question,

your front bar looks like it goes through the front subframe? dont fancy fitting that lol.
dont most attach underneath to the tie rods?

[Ivor Badger]

I have difficulty understanding why the front bar would work. Afterall it seems to have the same design defects as the Ferrari copy of a Lotus 25 and that didn't work.

[maggies_minder]

i was just about to say the smae as above, im no expert but i dont see how it helps.

[tadleysimon]

the reason it helps is because the 2 wheels are no longer independent.

when you go round a corner the outside wheel is under stress so therefore the suspension gets compressed, the inside wheel has the weight lifted off of and the body of the car lifts, or 'rolls'

with the roll bar fitted, the outside wheel when under stress twists the bar and transfers some of the force to the other wheel. therefore flattening the car out.
