Where did Robin get the anti-roll bar? I know Andrew runs a similar set up. Being adjustable will have it's advantages. Are there adjustable ones for sale in the states does anybody know? I can't find them. Brian | |

Is anybody running an aluminium block? If so, how does the weight difference effect the handling? Is it improved because of the less weight, or does it suffer as a result of the change to the front/rear weight distribution? | |

Brian,
Re:Anti-roll bars.
Frank Catt manufactured and installed the set-up for Both Robin And Andrew. I believe the anti- roll bars and a few other mods improved the handling considerably.
You can contact him in the UK :- 01323843839 wealdenengineer@aol.com
Regards, Paul. | |

The anti-roll bar looks like a regular race setup. Try http://www.hoerr-racing.com . You'll have to 'design' it yourself, you will have to know all the lengths of the parts. HRP offers a complete cockpit adjustable kit for about $1200US. | |
