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

Re: \'Fess up, What Engine are You Running?

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.

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.
