Custom Anti Roll Bar- Cheap opportunity!

If you are up to the effort of shipping to Australia, I'll take two.

(I figure there's someone in Aus that will want one down the track or else I'll just keep the second as a spare).
 
So that would make 9, I'd have to find out if they could ship direct to you ( and how much extra £ it would be )
One more and we're into the cheapest territory :D

If my Rover didn't already have uprated front springs along with modified Koni shock absorbers, I'd have my hand up for one too. My only worry is that with my current setup, the stiffer anti roll bar might make the front just too stiff. Mine doesn't dive under hard braking or pitch and roll through corners like it did originally, so I am a little apprehensive at this stage.

Great!
That makes the 10 then IF we can sort the postage to Australia for Geoff.
I'll contact them to see how much extra that will be, then we can finalise the details and get the ball rolling :D
I guess how it will work is we'll give our bank details/addresses independently to Coilsprings referencing an order number etc.
I haven't given them specifics such as total length yet, so if anyone would like to double check before we order please go ahead.
Currently they have an approx total length, 14cm 19mm diameter hex ends on a 25mm round bar made from chrome vanadium.

Measured mine at 1135MM,so 14CM will be fine.
A little sticking out is better than too short.
As soon as you have the details I will order, just let us know.

I presume they won't manufacture until they have all the orders.

Addresses of course, but only bank details in as much as transferring the payment ourselves surely?
 
That's what I meant, sorry it wasn't clear :)
I certainly don't want the responsibility of other people's money!

Worst case scenario - I have a friend in Wales that could take delivery and forward them on to me. (I will double check).
 
Jim,

I've worked with alloy steels for years but mainly Nickel Chrome alloys for tooling, not spring steels.

I was wondering whether Chrome Silicon steel had any significant advantages over Chrome Vanadium.

No doubt Coilsprings will have a definitive view on which is the more suitable or cost effective, depending on the application.

However, these 2 pages would seem to suggest each has very similar mechanical properties, apart from CrSi being able to handle slightly higher service temperatures.

What does everyone think? Might be worth asking Coilsprings for their view and comparative pricing?

19mm was also mentioned in an earlier post, and I was a little confused but I see you've included the word "diameter" after that size. The normal engineering practice for specifying hexagons is Across Flats, so for clarity I'd suggest that's the spec to give to Coilsprings?

I've just measured the bar that I took out of Rebekah (1966 Dunlop-braked 4-pot) and it measures 1136mm in length (or 44.3/4" in real money :) ), and the hexagon is .687" (11/16") across flats or 17.45mm.

Checked this latter dimension on Occie (1973 3500S) and it's also 11/16" AF. Could someone drop a mic across their own bar to confirm this is standard?

The bars do indeed measure approximately 3/4" (or 19mm) across corners.
 
Thanks Vaultsman,
I wanted us to agree and corroborate measurements just to be absolutely certain before ordering.
I'd been using the 19mm diameter measurement from previous discussions on the forum, but of course AF should be the way we're describing it.
I've sent an update to Coilsprings asking about shipment to Australia, any further discount on more orders, and given them more definite measurements as follows:
1136mm total length;
25mm diameter round bar;
140mm length hex ends, 11/16" / 17.45mm AF (19mm across corners/diameter)

If anyone disagrees/finds different measurements please let me know! :wink:

Jim
 
The 11/16 AF size is indeed standard throughout production.

There is rumour that some Talago's (prototypes) had larger and strong rumour that the 2000S of 1965 (total production = 15) had bigger, but I've never come across documentary or practical evidence to support that.

Looks like one of is getting under the Zagato car with a vernier then!!
