Does anyone know where I can buy variable rate anti-roll blades & torsion tube? I believe the blades are Cosworth?

In the US I know you can buy them from Hoerr Racing Products.
Paul,
I think what you are loking for is manufactured by JBL Motorsports(.com). Here ar a few pics of their setup. Adjustments are made on the fly for changing conditions or requirements on the track.
For example, to create understeer, the firm adjustment is choosen. to create oversteer the soft choice is made on the front adjuster. You can virtually dial in the suspension as you drive.

Bill,
That setup is WAY cool! Almost fly-by-wire!
When will you be installing it in your car?
Just out of curiosity, how much $$$$???

I seem to remember something around $1100-1500 from JBL. The ones in the pic were for their Cobra. A very advanced engineered car. You Cobra guys should check out their suspension set up.
HRP makes the same setup. You supply the info and they make them up. Torsion bars from 5/8 OD x .095 wall solid, 1"OD x 120 wall tubular to 1 1/2 OD x .188 wall tubular. Blade arms from .350" thick x 9.75" OAL to .200" thick x 9.75" OAL
You have to supply the OA lenght (Arm c to c), Torsion bar size, blade arm size, arm angle, drop link OAL, drop link style, control style, and control cable lenght.(WHEW!!) Their prices were $1150 to 1300 depending on components and specs. They have a tech line that I am sure could help you out.

A company that makes these type of adjustable sway bars especially for GT40's is a company I know well, MINE.
We have just finished (all bar the drop links - no pun ment!) and I will get Sam to drop some photographs on the forum over the next few days.
I must admit that this thread seemed a little spookey to me as if someone was looking over my sholder.
Best wishes,
Robert
