New ARB Drop Links

Post by MarinaCoupe » Fri Sep 06, 2019 5:45 pm

The club have commissioned the remanufacture of the front anti-roll bar drop links, manufactured to the same design as the original BL versions.

These are the prototypes about to be fitted to a car for assessment. Kudos to Ben & Richard Clayton in getting the project this far. It’s been a long road, including getting a manufacturer to buy in tooling to make the flexi ball fittings.

No prices yet, but as usual discounted prices planned for club member, so watch this space.

They are the only part I am missing to enable me to fit an ARB on mine.
Well done to all.

Update: the drop links fit well and are good and strong. However the polyurethane mix in the balls is too soft, so back to the manufacturer for a stiffer set.

We shan’t be ordering any until they prove to be spot on - watch this space.
