 Any spare ARB's Does anybody have a front ARB or recommend an alternative that could possibly be adapted to fit?

Re: Any spare ARB's Definitely not going to find these second hand, get them made is your only choice mate. I had mine made one off, but Alan gow is probably retired now. I can find you a contact number or email if you want though

Re: Any spare ARB's i had some made by Alan Gow a long time ago which was very difficult to get him to answer phone i later found out they had been made the wrong size the front was 19mm and rear was 20mm both should be 18mm so i contacted tube bender ltd as seen in complete kit car he only had tooling to do 16mm the rear one was the one that i thought would be a problem as most i have seen are set on softest setting on 18mm bar so i thought 20mm could cause over steer and didn,t fancy being being over taken by the back of the car so i drew around 20mm bar and sent drawing to tom at tube bender he bent me a 16mm one and i made the end plates with the adjusting holes for the drop links to weld on i have kept 19mm front as this is close to 18mm but car not finished so not driven yet 16mm rear cost £90 inc vat ok but material used was not ideal was not perfectly round so not ideal where d bushes fit. I could do a drawing of one of may rears if anyone wants one but the front will be more difficult as it is on the car at the moment

I could do a drawing of one of may rears if anyone wants one but the front will be more difficult as it is on the car at the moment A smaller rear bar makes sense with the factory suspension. Rear bar is always set softer than front. I have driven my Spyder with rear bar disconnected and front bar set quite stiff and was still acceptable. I believe it is a different story with Z Cars rear suspension fitted. Lower roll centre and less camber compliance helps rear grip so a stiffer rear bar setting is needed to eliminate understeer.

Re: Any spare ARB's Sounds like i might have got lucky with my ARB's from alan gow because i have the Z cars rear suspension. Either way i think it handles like a dream
