Were the rear sway bars on the original cars adjustable? it looks as if they are not. Anyone know their diameter?
Thanks

Hi David,
They weren't adjustable. From memory, I think the road car ones were 9/16" and the race cars possibly 5/8". I have 3 originals one of which is 3/4", I'd have to check the diameter of the others.

Graham.

Didnt the ends of the sway bars have a lug with holes drilled to move the attachment point closer/further away from the centre of rotation to effectively increase decrease the stiffness of the sway bar. Photo from Gelsco 'Mirage' build log.
Hi Doc,
Sort of. With the Gulf cars they took the original, non-adjustable anti-roll bars and welded on metal strips similar to the above. MkIIs were different again but I know David was asking about the MkI.

Sorry Ryan, that's not correct: there's no scope for that sort of adjustment and it the change would be so small as to be negligible.

Graham.
That is a beautiful picture... I love that Linden GreenGT 111

So typically for a GT40 we are all correct! some do, some don't. And thanks for the pictures....
